Walk on Air
A short-duration skill letting Carl run across empty air — which ran out three-quarters of the way to safety.
Story so far
After dumping his bomb payload at the apex of his Levitation Potion, Carl activated Walk on Air and made a mad dash for the lip of Larracos, hoping his speed would carry him to the edge before the skill expired.
It didn't have enough juice. He made about three-quarters of the distance before dropping like a bucket of concrete onto the aluminum roof of a home on the mostly-abandoned 64th level, from which he had to Climb his way back up.
Role
Aerial mobility skill that nearly gets Carl to safety after his bombing run.
Relationships
Carl — Uses it to run through the air after the bomb drop.
