The wizard’s apprentice drifted like down in the wind, coming to a gentle rest skimming the pond’s surface without sinking. The child huffed in relief, having avoided a fall onto rocks that could’ve killed him.

“Handy!” the orc boy shouted, resuming his cliffside descent.

The apprentice regained his normal weight and sank with a splash.
