Game Mechanics: Levitate not working as intended in Plane of Sky

[millers]

With the release of Plane of Sky, levitate was permitted for the first month of release. Patch notes on February 3, 2000 shows this:

All spells that grant levitation will no longer function in the Plane of Sky. This affects spells cast by Wizards, Enchanters, Shamans, Druids, Necromancers, and Bards. The Plane of Sky is designed to be completed in certain fashion, and the existence of these spells allowed the islands to be completed out-of-order.
