Imogen not really knowing what’s happening as she casts Fly and her just doing it to save a friend without knowing what’s going on is so fucking cool
mechanically, all she did was cast Fly. It’s a 3rd level spell, she has access to 3rd level slots, that’s all she did. but the Aberrant Mind sorcerer gets an ability at 14th level that essentially allows them to fly at will (as long as they have enough sorcery points left).
so Laura flavoring Imogen’s casting of Fly this way effectively implies that Imogen really doesn’tknow what’s going on, because she’s tapping into a power she doesn’t yet know how to use out of desperation and panic because a friend is falling to his death. Laura used the expenditure of a 3rd-level spell to represent Imogen’s power extending beyond her current means, to represent that Imogen’s impulse to save her friend was powerful enough to reach into some unknown space to pull through abilities she won’t learn to control for months.
