Wondrous item, very rare
This wooden broom, which weighs 3 pounds, functions like a mundane broom until you stand astride it and speak its command word. It then hovers beneath you and can be ridden in the air. It has a flying speed of 80 feet. It can carry up to 400 pounds, but its flying speed becomes 50 feet while carrying over 200 pounds. The broom stops hovering when you land.
You can send the broom to travel alone to a destination within 5 miles of you if you speak the command word, name the location, and are familiar with that place. The broom comes back to you when you speak another command word, provided that the broom is still within 5 miles of you.
While you are riding skysweeper you always know which way is north, and you ignore the effects of high altitude, including elevations above 20,000 feet. If you are knocked off of skysweeper you instantly gain the effect of the feather fall spell cast on you, and the broom comes to retrieve you. As an action while riding skysweeper you can cast the invisibility spell on yourself and the broom at will. Dismounting the broom ends your concentration on the spell. These magical effects only apply to the rider who spoke the command word to activate the broom.
Nissa mounted her broom and felt the rush of exhilaration as she kicked off of the ground. It was wonderful to be in the air again. All of the woes of nearly being burned at the stake, just this morning, were swept from her mind as she flew into the crisp autumn sky. Soon she was thousands of feet above the world, her snowy owl soaring beside her letting out gleeful hoots as the pair dodged rain-laden clouds. They rose higher still, beyond the pinks and peaches of the setting sun, into the starry night. She was free!
