While pondering gestalts I stumbled over the empyreal bloodline for sorcerers (very useful for Cleric or Inquisitor gestalts) however their bloodline power makes me wonder a bit
Sacred Cistern (Su): At 9th level, your bloodline makes you a natural receptacle of divine energy. You can channel energy once per day as a cleric of your sorcerer level – 4. This bloodline power replaces wings of heaven.
So far no problem, I never liked wings of heaven thematically. It seems way too angel-specific. However, Sacred Cistern only replaces Wings of Heaven as a Bloodline Power, the rest is from the Celestial bloodline, among others:
Ascension (Su): At 20th level, you become infused with the power of the heavens. You gain immunity to acid, cold, and petrification. You also gain resist electricity 10, resist fire 10, and a +4 racial bonus on saves against poison. Finally, you gain unlimited use of the wings of heaven ability. Finally, you gain the ability to speak with any creature that has a language (as per the tongues spell).
On the one hand it looks like an oversight, on the other hand one channel energy per day at -4 level is not really a replacement for level*minutes of flight.

In my opinion granting additional uses of the ability, does not grant the ability itself.
But I would try to find something to recompense the sorcerer. More channels would be appropriate, but more changes might be necessary to make it attractive anyway.
