Can "Witcher" mages fly?

A bit of a hobby of mine is thinking about how characters can play in a fighting game. One time I was thinking about possible gameplay for a fighting game interpretation of Yennefer of Vengerberg or Triss Merigold from "The Witcher," and, in theory, the Marvel Vs. Capcom depiction of Storm seems to be a good base.

The problem is that Storm can fly, and, seeing as though I haven't read all the books or played all the games yet, I'm not aware of any instances where mages in the Witcher franchise are depicted as being able to fly.

For anyone who's played all the games, read all the books, or both, is there any part of the franchise that depicts a witch flying?

Edit: Mages I mean, sorry for the mistake

First off, neither Yennefer or Triss are 'witches' in the Witcher. They are mages/sorceresses.

It makes a difference in universe. Not a big deal.

As for flight, I can't think of any examples of any mage gaining flight through their own power. They mostly just teleport around, or if they can't do that, ride a horse.

Witches can fly, the last Crone of Crookback Bog flees by turning into a swarm of bugs and pissing off. Sorceresses and Mages can fly as well, in Witcher 2, Sile de Tanserville levitates.

If they can teleport I imagine they can fly. I always imagined instant teleportation is a cut above regular flight.

...I don't think so? at least I can't remember any doing that. Short term levitation maybe, but outright flying no. Some can polymorph (like Philippa) but that's very very rare (Triss can't do it).

Huh, must not have gotten that far, or it's on the other route. Does that happen in Roche's route?, or Iorveth's?

Act 1, right after killing the Kayran Sile floats down to you. Also, Phillipa Eilhart transforms into an owl to fly.

Going to second this notion and, while I know that they are able to transform if needed, when you can just use the in-universe version of Fast-Travel, I'd imagine they'd use it as much as the average player does.
