Like a Feather. While you carry the unfolded umbrella, you can lighten your weight for 1 minute (no action required), allowing you to be carried by the strong winds. During that duration, if there are no strong winds present, you slowly sink to the ground as if affected by the feather fall spell. You can end the effects early as an action. Once used, this property can't be used again until the next dawn.
