It's not the authors fault that the reader can't distinguish between reality and fantasy.
As for flying ointment, technically it is an illusion since you don't actually fly. It's just an oil that when a decent amount is absorbed through the skin will give the hallucination of flying or being away from your body. People do use it to aid in astral projection because it does have the freeing effect where your consciousness separates from the body.
I've never had to use it to help project, but I did put it on my third eye when I was much younger. Didn't dig the tingling sensation at all.

does the ointment make make you high or something?
Thany you personified. A phoenix is an astral creation not a physical being and thus does not technically have feathers at all so even if you managed a physical manifestation, which you won't because summoning simply doesn't work that way you Definately couldn't get a feather from it. If you want to make a broomstick fly the easiest way is to stick it on an aeroplane because without a couple of wings and a power source such as a jet engine it's not going anywhere.
where and what spell do u use to make a broom stick fly and does it have to be a real broomstick can it jus be a partycity broomstick

You cannot, I repeat, cannot, make a broomstick fly. It's impossible.

I always like to look back and think of what it was to and why it was that witches were said to fly on broomsticks, even if it was in a hypothetical context, because the stories that I heard of and the things that I see, today, don't surprise me. The fundamental question is, what were spells originally used for? If you claim to have an answer, explain to me how do you know, because I am wanting to know some "interesting" history, as to why spells were originally invented? Well, that is the general idea, spells being originally invented for a reason. I don't believe spells were taught for just anything, and that is the other thing: who exactly brought the "craft" into the world?
the amount of bio-energy and electromagnetic energy needed to repel the force of gravity and levitate, is enormous. manipulating energy at the subatomic level is not something that humans can do. sigh. unfortunately it is not possible. levitation may be a great way to try and keep your mind focused on a goal, but nothing more than training your brain to keep focused.
although if it were possible to make one, think of how much gas it would save :) and would solve my transportation problem, and i could take those 9 am college math classes.
