Wings of Darkness

Grows black bat wings on the caster, allowing flight at double speed while still fighting or casting.
From the book
A pair of black, bat-like wings grows from the caster's upper back, letting them fly at twice their normal movement rate. The caster can still fight or cast spells while airborne, but can carry no more than a normal encumbrance. The wings last 1 hour, plus another 10 minutes for each level of ability.

A scene
The Fomorian patrol has the witch Rhiannon trapped at the edge of a cliff in the Fells, and they are grinning as they close in. She throws back her head. Black, leathery wings burst from her shoulders, tearing her cloak, and she drops off the edge, catches the wind, and swoops back up past them at twice the pace she could ever run. From above she spits a curse down at the nearest giant for good measure. Then she wheels away east over the mist, with an hour of flight still to spend.
