This magical broom is able to fly through the air at up to 30” movement speed.
The broom can carry 182 # at this rate, but
every 14 additional pounds slows movement by 1“. The device can climb
or dive at about 30 degrees. A command word must be used, the word to
be determined by you as desired. The broom will travel alone to any
destination named. It will come up to 30” to its owner when he or she
speaks the command word.

Aerial Combat: These devices must be moving at least half speed to function.
With practice, they can be controlled by the rider's knees,
so an experienced broomsman can melee in the air.
However, all spell use is impossible while riding a broom,
though some magical devices (such as wands) could be used.
Brooms are maneuverability class C.
 

OA: Thise items are not commonly available in Oriental lands.
The result should be rerolled.

ADQ: How long does it TAKE to mount or 
dismount a broom of flying
ADA: Such actions take 1-4 segments each, 
and other actions (spell casting, melee 
attack, etc.) can be performed in the same 
round (as the situation permits). Note, 
however, that any such action will automatically 
reduce multiple attack capability by 1; 
e.g., when landing and then firing a 
bow, the normal ROF (2 per round) is 
reduced to 1 attack in that round.
