Levitation

Basic Levitation is one of the most basic spells that combine Sift and Druidic style magics. It is a spell widely known to Unicorns and comes naturally to newborn Alicorns, and is one of the fundamental spells most Magic users are expected to learn. Levitation serves as the foundation of countless other spells.

Functions
In Unicorns, Alicorns and Changelings, Levitation works by surrounding a pocket of space with their magical aura. The aura is then moved around, carrying with it whatever it inside. Levitation is one of the most basic combinations of Sift and Druidic magic, the former providing a conduit to transmit magic through, and the latter to control the energy output of the user.

In Kirin the Levitation spell surrounds an object itself with the user's magic as opposed to the empty space inside or around it, usually lighting up the surface of whatever object that is.

Some Alicorns can perform Levitation without a visible aura.

Classifications
There are three frequently seen types of Levitation users discover depending on how their magic veins work and how powerful they are:
 * Area - Most common classification of Levitation. A single field is surrounded by magic and manipulated. Unicorns suited to this type of Levitation tend to have higher TNF ratings.
 * Flock - Seen in Unicorns who are more oriented toward Sift magic, and those who are better at multitasking. Flock involves creating many small areas of levitation and combining them together when lifting heavier objects. Seen as the most versatile classification due to its wide range of practical uses, and the fact that Unicorns who use this type are generally more likely to gain a secondary major skill.
 * Tendril - Least common classification. Instead of creating a separate space of magic a short distance away, the user instead extends the aura of their horn out to serve as the Levitation spell. This creates a constant link with the user's mana pool, and is usually the most stable of the three. Extremely common in Changelings.
