///////////////////////// [Ability - Dragon Flying] ////////////////////////////
    Hey, a dragon can fly (if we are set to, mind you!) this is executed from
    the default AI, using local objects to "fly" to, a duration based on the
    distance between the 2 places.

    When we fly down, we apply knockdown to the targets in the area's affected
    if not huge size, like wing buffet.

    NOTE:

    - Can be used with NPC's who are not dragons, but if they are not huge,
      the damage is not done (only the pulses at thier location and the target
      location)
///////////////////////// [History] ////////////////////////////////////////////
    1.3 - Added
    1.4 - Added an actual spell event fire for the damage. It might not have
          registered with some hostile monsters otherwise! (EG: DR)
///////////////////////// [Workings] ///////////////////////////////////////////
    Executed via. ExecuteScript from the AI file, it is seperate because it is
    almost a new AI ability.

    It is a 6 second or more fly - note it adds 1/10 second more for each
    1M between targets. Not too much, but enough.

    Does damage to landing and taking off sites too :-)
