The Sliding Cloud Talisman and the Cloud-Climbing Talisman had similar names, and their effects were also very similar.
Both talismans had been invented by wizards to make traveling less strenuous. Once used, they turned a wizard's lower legs and feet into a puff of white smoke.

After laying nearly a hundred Explosion Talismans inside the Guardian Formation and preparing a fog screen, the two young wizards used Sliding Cloud Talismans at the same time and slipped beneath that Invisibility Cloak together.
Then, using a Binding Spell as reins, they hooked themselves to five Maodou and let them drag the two wizards floating in midair forward.
To cover for them, Maodou created dozens of duplicates to disrupt the Zoogs' line of sight.

They collapsed at the first touch, fleeing in terror. The
