Wind Magic
You know the gust cantrip. Once you reach 3rd level, you can cast the feather fall spell once as a 2nd-level spell. Once you reach 5th level, you can also cast the gust of wind spell once. You must finish a long rest to cast these spells again with this trait. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for these spells.
Glide
Using your feathered arms, you can slow your fall, and glide short distances. When falling you can use your reaction to spread your arms, stiffen your wing feathers, and slow your descent. While doing so, you continue to fall gently at a speed of 60 ft. per round, taking no fall damage when you land. If you would fall at least 10 feet in this way, you may fly up to your movement speed in any direction you choose, although you cannot choose to move upwards, landing in the space you finish your movement. You cannot glide while carrying heavy weapons or wielding a shield (though you may drop any held items as part of your reaction to spread your arms). You cannot glide while wearing heavy armor, or if you are encumbered.
Hover
As a bonus action, you can hover 5 feet into the air. Each round after that, you must use your bonus action to maintain hovering. While hovering, you do not trigger any traps that trigger under pressure. You cannot hover while carrying heavy weapons or wielding a shield (though you may drop any held items as part of your reaction to spread your arms). You cannot glide while wearing heavy armor, or if you are encumbered. You also need at least 10 feet in order to hover.
