The necromancer lands in an unoccupied space at the end of their movement, and takes no falling damage. The necromancer cannot glide while carrying heavy objects, heavy weapons, or shields (though they can drop any held items as part of their reaction).

As a bonus action, the necromancer can use their powerful feathered arms to propel themselves upward up to half their movement speed. The necromancer can use it in conjunction with a regular jump, but not while gliding.
