Levitation is the act, the state, or the stage trick of rising and hanging in the air, or of making someone or something do that, as if by magic. You hear it in magic shows, in films about witches and superheroes, and in talk about strange powers. Scientists also use it when something is held up with no touch, such as one magnet hanging over another. Though actually that is physics, not a spell. Levitate is the verb you do; levitation names the thing that happens. It feels a little technical or theatrical, not a word for the market.
懸浮、飄浮術
