That effect could be a compromise, but I want to point out that flight is explicitly something mortal magic can't effectively manage.
Dresden talks about it as a problem everyone pokes at, but that no one can safely manage short of the rare person who can cast a full shapeshifting spell and turn into a bird.

We've never seen unassisted mortal flight in the setting.
We've seen Ebenezar fly on a levitating boulder, Rashid fly on a flying carpet, and Looks to Wind shapeshift into a bird.
But Nicky is the closest thing to unassisted flight I recall, and he flies on the wings of his shadow courtesy of his Fallen.
Flight aint easy.
I absolutly disagree with that as a basic approach.
I say make big waves, get big enemies and then scramble desperatly to survive the consequences of your actions.
Fundamental difference in playstyle.
For me it smacks entirely too much of that quest where the players voted to stab themselves with their sword.
No thanks.
They had an actual titan running amuck, blasting thing with her magic eye, and it was still brushed under the rug.
Plus, we're under no obligation to play masquerade anyway- sure, it's somewhat useful now, but long term?
The titan Ethniu was somewhere between 8 and 10 feet tall. Not particularly noticeable if you're not in the same room as her.
The armies were a lot more obvious.
We havent actually had a book since Battlegrounds.
We dont know how the rest of the world is taking it, but it was helped by the mass failure of recording equipment.
The supernatural is out of the closet in Chicago according to the author, but not elsewhere.
I lived through Covid. Im a lot more willing to believe wilful unbelief as a mass phenomenon.
We do not have the juice to live with the consequences of fucking over literally every other supernatural nation and human.
Even asshole Nicodemus doesnt go on TV with some of his Denarians and assume warform.
Being Infernal means we punch above our weight class, it doesnt make us immune to Consequences.
