	'''Effect:''' As an action, you summon a flying cloud, which you can then ride (either standing or sitting). The cloud flies at the same speed as a galloping horse, and you can perform most kung fu secrets as normal from the back of it as if you were stood on solid ground. If you are knocked off the cloud, it dissipates. Note that as with most spells, you gain no special numerical combat advantage from being to fly about - its more about style than anything else, though obviously there's utility in being able to fly out of the reach of less mobile opponents.

	'''Special Cost:''' If you use this spell to move a distance and direction that you would have been able to move anyway with a normal movement action, and if you gain no benefit from doing so, there is no cost. In other words, if you're using tunneling mole for style only, with no benefit at all, then you're not going to be charged for it.
