Description: Wind Travel. Because Namorin/Charlain are Stormwardens and bear the first mark of Zulrav they have always felt a kinship with the wind and storms. It was actually this that brought them to Zulrav’s attention. Many times Namorin and Charlain would stand in a strong wind wondering what it would be like to ride the wind. In his combined mind they could hear the winds whispering about seeing faraway places and the thrill of traveling above the ground. Now he has discovered that he can dissolve into particles of light and travel the wind.
How It Works: There has to be a wind for him to do it. He has to speak to the wind, which he can do being a Stormwarden, and ask for them to carry him. If the wind agrees he steps into the wind and then will dissolve into particular of light. This includes anything he is wearing or holding, including a small backpack. Any large luggage gets left behind. When he talks to the breeze he needs to ask to ride it, and if he would like it to take him some were specific he also needs to ask it to carry him there and get agreement. With his first level stormwarden mark he is able to summon a breeze for the purpose of traveling, but once summoned he still has to ask the wind to carry him. Once he is ready to get off the wind. He thanks the wind for the ride, and then will reassemble on the spot. He can only travel about 50 to 100 miles in a day before his body has to reassemble and will do so of its own will. At first the particles will just kind of float together, but with practice he could actually control his particles, regardless though they won’t stray far from each other.
Advantage: He can travel distances fairly quickly on the wind.
He has a Stormwarden mark already and traveling the wind should attract Zulrav’s attention.
He can take his gear with him, and can only use purely mental skills.
Disadvantage: He has to ask both for a ride and a destination. This could involved some negotiation especially for more powerful winds.
He has to travel as particles of light which means he can’t use any skill requiring a physical reaction.
Limitation: There has to be a wind, and it has to be willing to take a rider.
He can only go up to 50 to 100 miles in a day.
He can only take gear he can reasonable hold. So no he couldn’t take like a horse.
