The box never clarifies what the difference between “floating” and “flying” is, but surely he doesn’t need both.

Even so, the unicorn charm might be the weak link of the bunch. The world is already colorful. Get a job, unicorn.

    So this leprechaun guy needs all these things to have a great magical life, but you take them all off him and eat all of them for breakfast, leaving him with a depressing colourless, magic-free world?

    Are we the baddies?

    Flying requires speed, otherwise you would stall. Please make sure your kids remember this, it is important.

    Without the unicorn bringing colour, there would be no rainbows. Where would that leave Lucky? Without the power of teleportation, that’s where!

      So it’s like a skill you have to do before the others. Since teleport is so powerful, it makes sense you’d need two charms to use it.

    I think the power to float is more of a buoyancy power. Like, he’s very hard to drown because he can inflate his special bladder with red balloon power.

      Vis à vis Archimedes’ Principle, does that imply that leprechauns have a higher average density than human beings? I’m also relatively hard to drown, despite not having any cereal-powered buoyancy. (At least, no more than the average cereal eater.)

    Teleportation also makes flying unnecessary.

    Floating may still be a good idea if he teleports into the air and doesn’t want to immediately come crashing down.

    He could just continuously teleport himself to his target location to effectively float, but teleportation probably uses more resources than floating, so maybe it’s an efficiency thing.

      General Mills needs to clarify the exchange rate between Red Balloons and Rainbows. The people demand it

      I wonder if teleporting resets momentum.

      If not; continuously teleporting back to the same location in the sky, you’re just going to keep picking up vertical speed.

      When you eventually stop teleporting, all that built up momentum has to go somewhere… Hope you’ve got some real strong ankles.

    Unicorn, Heart (Captain Planet), and Aquaman probably hang out, during the adventures they’re not invited to.
