Wondrous Item

Rare

This strange device was made by a mapach tinkerer and uses its powerful enchantment as a power supply. It resembles two folded wings, made of brass and cloth, attached to a box containing an intricate array of gears and cogs.
This box has leather straps that allow it to be worn across the back and two brass levers that can be cranked by the wearer. The entire device weighs only 20 lbs. While wearing the device, you can crank the left lever using an action to activate the wings, causing them to unfurl and flap. Cranking the left lever again as an action stops the wings' movement and causes them to fold back into their original position.

While the wings are in motion, you have a fly speed of 60 feet. This fly speed is reduced to 30 feet if your combined weight, with your gear (worn and carried), is over 150lbs. If your combined weight, with your gear, is over 250 lbs, you can't use this item to fly. Once activated, the wings will function until you stop their motion by cranking the left lever again. You can use the device to fly for up to 1 hour, all at once or in several shorter flights, each one reducing the duration by a minimum of 1 minute. If you are flying when the duration expires, you fall to the ground, taking damage as normal.

You can crank the right lever as a reaction to cause the wings to extend out to the sides, allowing you to glide safely to the earth. Cranking it a second time as a reaction causes the wings to fold back into their original position. If you are falling while the wings are extended in this way, you immediately stop falling and descend at a rate of 30 feet per round until you land. This speed is increased to 60 feet if your combined weight with your gear (worn and carried) is over 150 lbs. Using this lever doesn't count towards the flight duration; however, if it is cranked while the wings are in motion it will still slow your fall, though there is a 50% chance the device will fail. If this occurs the device will become completely useless for 2d12 hours after you've landed.

The wings regain 10 minutes of their flying capability for every 4 hours they aren't in use.
