Background
The Levitation effect is a status effect that causes a player to involuntarily float upwards into the sky and continue to rise. Once the effect wears off, you will stop rising and fall back to the ground.
There are levels of Levitation such as Levitation II, Levitation III, Levitation IV and so on. The higher the level of Levitation, the faster you will float upwards in the game.
