I really like the mechanics of the Attack from Above ability involving the airborne status and dealing automatic damage each turn while he is above. Awesome. I think I would get rid of the countdown however and just give him either 2 or 3 turns of airborne status. Or possibly keep the countdown, but the countdown only triggers the team damage and doesn't control the airborne status.

I also think it's too expensive. I imagine it's probably because of the very strong synergy with Wing Blades, but I feel that cost should be entirely contained within Wing Blades. It also feels a little unthematic for the feather damage to be based off of enemy attack tiles rather than friendly attack tiles, but I'm not sure if I would change it because it works well as a punish power for attack tile generators and can be fueled internally by the cheyarafim [sp?] healing. I would reduce the cost to either 9 or 10 AP and then and tweak the damage so that at max level it was averaging about 1000 team dmg per turn around 7 enemy strike tiles (so about 140-145 per tile). If the CD only controls the dmg you could add another dmg boost to the fortification at 5 covers (to achieve the 140-145).

I would then remove the passive from wing blades. Maybe replace it with a small damage bonus from freindly attack tiles (maybe + 250 per tile up to 5 tiles max, at max covers), and have the power create red friendly attack tiles when fired (thematically this would a 'bleed' effect).
