I support this idea. A Magic Carpet as a temp power would be neat, and even as a costume option as a Pool power.

gotta ask... how are you going to animate this? is it going to use the fly animations? that is how the jet pack works.
I was thinking more along the lines of the either a standing pose or a yoga "lotus" style sitting. Every time I play a Magic character and use that @#$% jetpack I can't help but think of Dr. Orpheus' disdain for Rusty Venture's pitiable "science". This makes me sad.
what about attacks? and if you are creating magic origin toons, even though origin has nothing to do with the toon other than RP flavor, why not just take fly? just asking.
Honestly I dunno. I would think any attacks you could make using a jet pack could be animated as though the carpet were "intangible" so to speak.
As far as "just taking flying", well sometimes I do although I usually take Speed for the Haste and, ahem, speed. Just think it would be nice for the toons to be able to craft a magic carpet temp power for vertical accessiblity.
Heck, now that I think about it, a "witches broom" temp power would be sweet too. And Halloween isn't too far off.
I'm not a role player by any stretch of the imagination although I do sort of get into my toons head while playing. And that shiny high tech jet pack just don't fit right, dagnabit 
I'm 99% sure this has been suggested before but....
I roll a lot of Magic origin characters. The costume variations are incredible, the powersets are thematically pleasing but it's so very annoying to occasionally use a "high tech" jet pack for vertical lift on my non-flying characters. I'd like to see a "magic carpet" style alternative to the jet pack offered as a temp power.
I'm sure this has been suggested before. Anyone know if it's being considered?
