[PnP] Insubstantial

[Burton Choinski]

We have always played that levitate is required to move (no traction  
otherwise).

Insub is always a pain to deal with since it allows the characters to  
bypass normal barriers that would otherwise slow them down or make  
them change tactics.  A stone castle wall would take time, or at  
least the noise of chipping away at it would alert sentries.

It's one of those spells that is almost too cheap for the power it  
grants.
