	So one of the mega-advantages of this would be that you can write a dust Elbereth and never fear smudging it, right? And use ranged weapons without moving yourself off of it?

		+	:Nope. Engravings still erode while flying. Hell, I swear they were degrading ''faster'' when I was trying to write in the dust while wearing the amulet of flying. It's not really a disadvantage over levitation, because you can't engrave in the first place while levitating. And you can just put on a ring of levitation after writing in the dust while flying. -- [[User:Qazmlpok\|Qazmlpok]] 11:42, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

 I haven't got this far, but according to the Sunless Sea page another disadvantage is that you can't use a bullwhip to snatch underwater items while flying. This is apparently less of a ridiculous corner case than it sounds, because the magic lamp in the Sunless Sea could be underwater. -- [[User:Slandor|Slandor]] 02:36, June 14, 2010 (UTC)
-:Yeah it always seems to be actually (one of the engravings mentions this, and even if it's randomly placed there'd be an ~80% chance of it being in the water).  Personally, I always use gauntlets of swimming to retrieve it if I really need it, though by the time you reach the Sunless Sea one wish is generally not that pressing of a need, especially since you can already have gotten GDSM from the Lawful Quest or possibly the Wyrm Caves, speed boots and wand of death from the Spider Caves, etc. -[[User:Ion frigate|Ion frigate]] 04:04, June 14, 2010 (UTC)
