Wings feat?

[addictedtotanks]

Pretty curious about this feat. I'm taking it on my characters because tbh, it seems really powerful.
But I have to ask, I'm not familiar with Pathfinder as a ruleset or universe, why can anybody just suddenly grow wings just because they reach a certain level? My charavter is a magus going down the sorc route so I assumed I could get the wings as part of my abyssal blood heritage, but I was able to give them to my companions too.
Also, anyone know if they plan on making the wings visual?

There's actually no mechanical way in Pathfinder for tieflings to get wings. Closest they get are an alternate racial trait for a pair of vestigial wings. Can't use them to fly but you can glide with them and they give a bonus to your Fly skill (yes, Fly is a skill in tabletop PF, mainly for when you actually gain a method to fly, even if it's just the fly spell) - presumably the bonus is to represent something to do with aerodynamics or just a comfort with being high up.

EDIT: No race-specific way for tieflings to get wings, I should say.

Fly is a skill for the same reason Clmb or Swim are skills. Flying takes skill to do properly.

Thank you - I tend to mix up 5e and pathfinder!

Yeah, it was just a change that initially surprised me because it wasn't a skill in 3.5. Don't get me wrong; I like that PF made it a skill, it just caught me by surprise way back when PF first came out (or possibly even earlier, I can't remember if PF had a playtest period or not... give me a break, that was over a decade ago :P ) and I don't know of any other DnD-based game actually had it as a skill.

While I think of it - here's the full tabletop version of tieflings[aonprd.com], complete with variant heritages, alternate racial features, and the racial Favoured Class Bonuses. Just in-case you were curious.
