If you are an initiate, you can 'improvise feats' from an Affinity that you have. Only Devotee's can improvise new and interesting feats from their affinities, and only with consent from the narrator and a modifier depending on how appropriate it is. (HQ p120)
Therefore initiates, even with movement affinities should carefully consider whether they jump from the walls of WW to Tarkalors gate. If it was dramatically appropriate and it seemed fun in the heat of battle, then I may allow it, but to drop sandwiches off to Baldric who forgot them when he left for Gate duty, then I think the player would have to feel the full force of the game system!!! ;^D
Actually, in the scenario I ran, it was Kallyr, her warband and Gyffur Ulfsson and the hidden gale who flew down to the gate.

spot on.
