@Peter_Mork Do all items / spells that provide flight hold the target “aloft by magic”? If so, why do some items / spells provide hover?
hover basically means you don't need to consciously keep yourself aloft – some magic requires will, other types are more passive— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) April 11, 2016
@Peter_Mork Makes sense. The Fly spell doesn’t provide hover. So if you are knocked prone while under a Fly spell, you fall?
correct— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) April 11, 2016
@mikemearls Might be worth UA clarification; page 191 of PH seems to state that a Fly spell prevents falling after being knocked prone.
