as a move-equivalent, you can invoke the law of Gia. This creates an area, with a radius of 100ft + 10 ft per character level where everything is pulled inexorably towards the ground. This lasts a number of rounds equal to your character level. Anything in or, more importantly, above this area suffers a -10 penalty to jump rolls, and to any attempt to balance off the ground. Any flight speed they have is halved, and their manoeuvrability is reduced by one step. Falling damage in this radius is doubled.
This ability can be taken multiple times. Each Time either increases the radius by 20ft or the duration by 2 rounds
