It's levitating.

It's chaotic.

Draconic mysteries.

Wings (so what if it's impossible by Terran standards?).

>- -Moon boats

They fly upon the Lunar Energies that emanate from the Red Moon.

>- -Leonardo's flying machine

Science.

Never studied the Law of Gravity and so remain in ignorance of its principles.

Gravity pulls all things, not things directly beneath them. Thus even if one is suspended above Magasta's Pool, one still feels the downward pull of Genertela, Pamaltela, Luathaela and Vithela.
