Air Walk (speed question)

[reefwood]

Quote:

Air Walk

The subject can tread on air as if walking on solid ground. Moving upward is similar to walking up a hill. The maximum upward or downward angle possible is 45 degrees, at a rate equal to half the air walker's normal speed.

Do you move at half of normal speed whenever you tread on air, or is it only half speed when you move at an upward or downward angle?

Only while ascending/descending. You can tell by the rules of grammar: the half-speed clause is added to the end of the sentence describing the maximum angle, which in turn is presented as a clarification of the preceding sentence - which introduces the topic of upward and downward walking. Thus, the clause only relates to that topic.

That's what I figured but wanted to make sure. Thanks!
