- Levitation is a skill you can learn! The description is: "Allows you to use the Focusing Orb to get brief moments of levitation by means of yogic-jumping"
  Requirements
  - Level: 5
  - Meditative Arts III (Skill)
  - Rambler, First Class (Achievement)

- It's a skill that lets you use a "Imagine levitation" verb on your Focusing Orb. For a short time after using that verb, your upward movement becomes slightly floaty and a series of jumps equates to rising freely. ...Is it just me or is this really hard to explain?

- Maybe because it sounds a lot cooler than it actually is. hehe
  I unlearned it immediately...is it really ever useful? Ever an instance where it can do something spinach can't do better?

- With spinach you do not only jump high, but also move faster: if you need to jump high and have fine control over where you land, spinach's speed up is a downside. (Also spinach doesn't let you determine how high you jump, with levitate you have control over that.)

- If you're at the bottom of the Other Drop, spinach won't help you go up but levitation will.
  Otherwise, just carry a lot of spinach.

- Agreed, this is a really underwhelming skill.

- With upgrades, levitate lasts significantly longer than spinach.
  I'm rather jump-impaired, and I find levitate useful fairly often.

- I levitate all the time. It's a great means of controlled-upward motion (spinach is a brute-force sort of thing, great for avoiding jujus, but not so much on the control). Also fun for flying across the sky and making lovely pictures. :)
  I think of it as stylistic too. I meditate a lot for energy and mood, so levitating makes sense. Other people get most of their energy and mood through food and beverages, so eating spinach makes more sense for them. Many different ways of doing the same thing here in the Urniverse. :)

- For those that think levitate is useless, have you used it lately? It changed and became more practical around the iMG switchover.
  I never used it, but I do now.

- I second Saucelah. I never used it before, and I use it all the time now.

- I also use it all the time since the upgrades. I don't like how in controllable spinach is.

- Protip: You can stay in the air indefinitely if you keep reclicking levitate before the end of the buff.
