====== Levitation ======

**Levitation** is a beneficial status effect in Remixed Dungeon that allows the affected character to float above the ground.

==== Effect Description ====
  * **Type:** Beneficial Status Effect (Buff)
  * **Effect:** Allows floating above ground level
  * **Duration:** 20 turns (Levitation.DURATION = 20f)
  * **Source:** Primarily from drinking a [[en:rpd:potion_of_levitation_item|Potion of Levitation]]

==== How to Obtain ====
  * From drinking a [[en:rpd:potion_of_levitation_item|Potion of Levitation]]
  * From certain spells or class abilities
  * From special items or environmental effects

==== Mechanics ====
  * Allows movement over traps without triggering them
  * Enables passage over special terrain that would normally impede movement
  * Prevents certain ground-based effects from affecting the character
  * Blocks the Roots status effect (detaches any roots currently affecting the character via Roots.detach())
  * When effect ends, the game calls Dungeon.level.press() which may trigger floor effects at the character's position
  * Character sprite shows as CharSprite.State.LEVITATING
  * Uses BuffIndicator.LEVITATION for icon in UI

==== Strategy ====
  * Excellent for safely crossing trap-filled areas
  * Allows bypassing certain obstacles or difficult terrain
  * Useful for avoiding ground-based harmful effects
  * Good for navigating dangerous floor tiles
  * Timing the end of the effect is important to avoid landing in dangerous areas
