What do you think would be a good temporary debuff for Twilight’s initial flight ability? I ended up brainstorming a few mutually exclusive ideas in the process of this.  
 

1. Her maximum height above the ground is limited to her move speed. Any higher and she falls back down to her limit at the end of her turn, making a roll to catch herself in mid-air.  
2. When flying, she can’t take actions more complex than At-Wills without losing her concentration. If she takes an Encounter or Daily action, she needs to make a roll to avoid falling.  
3. Landing safely is never a guarantee. She can stay in flight as long as she is physically able, but when it comes time to land, she needs to make a roll or face (minimal) falling damage.

DM: As an alicorn, you’ll have a mix of earth pony, pegasus, and unicorn traits. And yes, that includes the ability to fly up to your movement distance. Though you might have a debuff for being so new to flying until you get used to it.  
Twilight Sparkle: That’s fine. I don’t think my ability to fly is going to make or break any boss fights. I’m okay being an alicorn-in-training.  
Applejack: So, Ah take it y’ don’t want us to call you “Princess” or “Yer Highness” or anything.  
Twilight Sparkle: Yeahhh, no. I mean… If other ponies want to call me Princess Twilight or whatever, fine. I’ve gotta get used to that. But not any of you. I mean, this happened because of your help, and our friendship. You’re all peers to me.  
Pinkie Pie: So… Honorary Princesses? Woohoo! I’ll be the Honorary Princess of Parties!  
Rainbow Dash: Sure, sure. Could you stop being so dang noble, at least? If you don’t act at least a /little/ corrupt, I’m worried it’s gonna rub off on me.  
Pinkie Pie: My first decree: AT LEAST ONE PERSON HAS TO HELP ME CLEAN UP AFTER!  
DM: Can I also make that demand?
