Description
You and up to ten willing creatures of your choice within range assume gaseous forms for the duration, appearing as wisps of cloud. While in this cloud form, a target has a Fly Speed of 300 feet and can hover; it has Immunity to the Prone condition; and it has Resistance to Bludgeoning, Piercing, and Slashing damage. The only actions a target can take in this form are the Dash action or a Magic action to begin reverting to its normal form. Reverting takes 1 Minute, during which the target has the Stunned condition. Until the spell ends, the target can revert to cloud form, which also requires a Magic action followed by a 1-minute transformation. If a target is in cloud form and flying when the effect ends, the target descends 60 feet per round for 1 Minute until it lands, which it does safely. If it can't land after 1 Minute, it falls the remaining distance.

School Fit
Transmutation magic is the least flashy school and arguably the most powerful. A single Polymorph can decide a tier-3 fight by itself. Wind Walk is Transmutation because the spell rewrites a property of a body, an object, or terrain. At level 6, Wind Walk is a tier-3 commitment — slots at this level are scarce.
Class Fit
- Druid: Circle of the Moon Druids spend most of their turns in Wild Shape — Wind Walk earns its slot only if the build expects to cast in humanoid form. 30 feet is enough range that Wind Walk doesn't pull the caster forward.
