Negative Gravity

Spell, Sorcery, level 5

Lifts everything in an area into the air, then holds it hovering, drops it, or sets it down gently.

From the book

The caster cancels gravity in a 10x10x10 ft. area up to 100 ft. away, and everything inside, objects and creatures alike, floats as high as 20 ft. He then chooses what happens: they hover in place for at most 1 minute per level, crash to the ground taking normal falling damage, or drift gently back down.

A scene

The raiders have come ashore at the ferry landing on Llyn Llyon, six of them crowded together on the wooden jetty, laughing. The sorcerer Gethin, watching from the reeds, draws a square around them with one finger. Suddenly every one of them is floating, rising, arms windmilling, until they hang twenty feet up in the air above the jetty along with a lantern, a coil of rope and a very startled gull. Gethin considers his options for a moment. Then he lets them fall.
