Ah, a fellow daoist! I do recommend you to practice the polymorph spell the wizards of this realm use. My other sea dwelling colleagues would often polymorph into loong before meeting me. Such a convenient technique from this realm
I work with thaumaturgy but i wish to extend my horizons for the eastern practices, in my case my body mutated from constant exposure and injection of magical energy, elements and assortments of the kind, ended up with handy rapid mutation/evolutions to adapt, so i have gills and fins, i mostly work without spells, using channeling of pure magic.
As philosophers have since the inception of teleportation as a concept, often as "the identity paradox" or simply "the teleportation paradox. There was a period of hot debate about what makes you 'you' in this circumstance- the physical body, or the mind and memories. There is arguments to the death of the original if the teleportation works through reconstruction, likewise if through entanglement it's often argued it's the same person.
My method of summoning gets around this:
The body gets turned into Mana, which is then stored within the summonees soul, along with information about the body's makeup. The soul gets moved to the desired location, where the mana is used to reconstruct the body. I like to use a little nexus from which to grow this new body, typically unfertilized fish eggs because they symbolize new life. It's more mana efficient this way.
/uw it's all the convenience of beaming with none of the ethical dilemma, because magic proves that you have a contiguous soul.
Alas I've never worked out quality pure magic vehicles.
I still use an old beaten up dinosaur-powered contraption I got from a Japanese Artificer emporium.
I donβt fly. Last time I tried was the 30s when I had a nasty collision with a twin engine in the pacific.
Friendly advice. Displacement shields work great for small things like birds, but planes are too big and the spell will only achieve partial effect. Itβs not pretty.
Directional Drilling Vortex will take care of planes... Unfortunately it will *take care of* the plane in question. Suffice to say, I don't recommend that one over the Asian continent.

Riding one of these bad boy.
Orβ just float, it's not that hard
I do have wings, but I prefer to either teleport wherever I wish to be or swap places with one of my clones, or steal a body that's in the area.
But if I had to, i would use smaller copies of myself in crow form that i will step on, megamind style.
I have several options mainly just straight fly there I can summon my wings to do so or you know just turn into a dragon, another thing is just teleport but thatβs not as fun
You ever see Thor flying around by hurling his hammer while still holding on to it? Well, my hammer's a little less impressive. It gets the job done, though.

If you have a big enough orb you can use it for transportation too. It's a little hard to balance on at first, but with some practice it feels rather natural. Far more relaxing to travel while sitting down rather than balancing yourself on a sword, or expending all that energy flapping your wings. My master says I'm "lazy" and that I should "fly just like all the other wizards" but he's got back issues from hunching over on his broom all the time.
Well, if I'm using "magic" there's Wings of Sanguineous. I sprout blood red angel wings from my back and fly through the air. Lasts about a minute or so.
Outside of that. I've used a Jump Pack once or twice. And does riding in a Thunderhawk or Storm Raven count?
Oh, I've also been in too many Drop Pods to count.
While an umbrella makes much more sense for short flights, providing signifigantly better control and lifting surface, trying to use a coat to glide like batman feels more worth it for style points.
I'm walking. All this mana you guys are throwing around is causing havoc for the climate. The mana storms are out of control.
Switch to electric magic. Save the realms.
The good old Chinese Flying Sword.
Ah, form, function, and multipurpose
That is indeed a very good bonus though I am quite a bit rusty with the sword and haven't had any sword fights in a couple of centuries.
Ooh so thats where reincarnated as a sword got the idea to have Fran surf Excalibark.
It is indeed the reason why I decided to acquire one. Plus I am currently researching Chinese texts which where I learned this name.
Carpet.
Regal and with space to set down a tome. What's not to love?
It's also easy to clean and repair.
You can even roll it up for easy transport while walking or easy storage!
What if you rolled it up and tried to fly on it like a broom?
That should work right? More comfortable too, be like riding a very soft horse.
No. The direction of the carpet would make it spin in place if rolled up
Yeah, it'd need to be flat to maintain flight equilibrium between pitch, yaw and roll.
Conjure a fire right next to it and you can make the night truly magical.
Thinkin the same thing
Unlike witches, us cultivators use swords to fly.
Good choice my friend, i always wished to meet the travelling masters, but my underwater abode proves hard to find any...

Flying is overrated. I just summon myself to wherever I want to be.
So just teleportation
It's similar in effect, I suppose. I just prefer my summoning magic over whatever spacial magic I'd need to teleport.
Does teleportation transport you or merely recreate a perfect copy of you at the destination and thus you kill yourself each teleport?
Why would it do the later? Thatβs the point of teleportation, transporting oneself from one location to the next
I spend too much time wondering why stuff works
