An alchemist shapes a clay golem beside copper furnaces and a homunculus in a jar, with whales drifting past a sunken city beyond.

The Power of Elemental Air

Alchemy, Elemental power

Grants gliding flight in any breeze and immunity to falling damage, plus the Air Elemental tongue.

From the book

This Power grants a limited kind of flight. Outdoors, the alchemist can glide any distance on even the faintest breeze, and falls of any kind never cause harm. Below ground, the alchemist can glide only 10 feet per level, and indoors the gliding speed is only twice walking pace. While gliding, the alchemist cannot carry more than a normal encumbrance. The alchemist also gains the language of Air Elementals.

It is one of the four Elemental Powers an alchemist can gain, permanently, from the elixirs of Essential Earths (25% per eight-week treatment); only one can ever be acquired, and its Focus sigil is what the alchemist concentrates on while drinking them.
