Cannot End Fly Spell From Boots - Cannot Press Switch - Cannot Short Rest - 3 Hour Timer

[ArcturusRising]

My party is in the Mind of the Master dimension and has split into two groups to operate a pair of switches to rotate floors. I used magical boots to cast the Fly spell on one of my characters to see if she could fly over and grab a chest and then the light cube. The game won't let her fly over empty space, even spaces that are normally small enough to jump across.

The boots give a 3+ hour timer for the spell and there is no concentration to break. I'm not sure if multiple short rests are allowed, but the game won't let me attempt one, because my party is split. I can't rotate the bridge again, because my flying character can no longer press the switch. I tried dropping heavy objects from her inventory onto the switch and casting spells at the switch, but that doesn't work either.

I don't want to reload an earlier save, so I'm watching Netflix for 3 hours while I have the game running in the background. The game developers really need to fix the Fly spell and add ways to manually cancel effects like we can for light cantrips.

Click the little icon on your character portrait on the side of the screen that has the little circle moving around it. that's how you end any concentration effect

Please read again. The Fly spell cast by the magical boots is not a concentration effect. I don't see a way to end the effect prematurely.

I think if you use fast travel (open map, click a location) to a waypoint it will magically pull your team together, then you can short rest.

One option should be to cast a summon spell and have the summon trigger the switch. It seems to work with every pressure plate or switch so far. Big assumption that you have the spell on hand.

Also if you are running UB1 you can use the gather party hot key, just be warned that you need to have the focus on the right player or everyone could be stuck. Then again there is another hot key that lets you choose you destination, but that can break quests if you go ahead and not back.

I thought the boots were a concentration. I guess I was wrong

I believe the levitate boots you turn off the same way as a concentration spell? Not sure about flying boots it's been awhile since I've used the levitate ones but I always though you just clicked the little icon on your portrait and ended concentration
