''Watch this, pigs can fly!''

With a swift action you attach and activate a sticky pod that erupts into a balloon, carrying you or your hapless target up to 10 ft/level into the air before remaining buoyant where they are.  You cannot move the recipient horizontally, but the recipient could clamber along the face of a cliff, for example, or push against a ceiling to move laterally (generally at half its base land speed).  At any point as a free action on their turn the recipient may deflate the balloon, drifting downward and moving horizontally up to 5 ft in any direction.  They land as if using ''[[SRD:Feather Fall|feather fall]]'' and the effect is discharged.

While the movement is swift enough to avoid attacks of opportunity on ascent, this may not apply on descent.  Unless you have a means to fly or move in the air, you are flatfooted as long as you remain suspended.  The balloon can be targeted equal to the creature's AC and with 5 hp/level but is otherwise considered an attended object.  Breaking the balloon causes the creature or object to fall normally.  Creatures can make a DC 15 [[Reflex]] save to avoid falling objects.

You are highly susceptible to wind effects, counting as a creature one size smaller than normal.  Creatures drift 5 ft in the appropriate direction for every 5 mph the wind is blowing.

You can consume 100 gp in fabric supplies as a component.  If you do, the duration becomes 1 hour/level, and you can set a time or a contingency (as per ''[[SRD:Contingency|contingency]]'') for when it should deflate.
