Although useful, this ring has one crucial limitation: you cannot extend your flight with this ring once you are already airborne. If you find yourself over [[deep water]] or [[lava]] and your flight is nearly over, don't be afraid to read a [[scroll of teleportation]] to get yourself back to land. Alternatively, if you have a different source of flight, e.g., a [[potion of flight]], you can use that to extend your duration. All the same, consider manually landing whenever flight isn't necessary to avoid traveling into dangerous situations with only a short duration remaining.
