Err, the spell wasn't clarified between editions, it was just upgraded.  A lot of my own spells are much different in OSRIC than they would be in the 3.x SRD.  It can't be a clarification, because OSRIC is quite specific that it's caster-only.  There's no ambiguity to clarify.  In the description for Genie, you can tell that it's not a reference to the spell because it's not italicised.  If you look at the description of the genie (p.273 OSRIC), you'll note that all the spells it can use are in italics.  That's a convention used to identify when magical spells are being discussed.  The ability to walk on wind is just what it sounds like - it can basically fly at its normal movement rate by "walking on wind."<br/><br/>I think what we need to do is retcon your arrival - you seem to have come into contact with Thalia and made friends.  Perhaps she could have brought you as a guest?  Such a thing wouldn't be impossible.  I haven't looked at your sheet; you'd be expected not to carry any weapons, etc. into the throne room, but other than that it shouldn't present a problem.  I really don't want to shut you down too much or exclude you, so I think that's a reasonable way to resolve your arrival.
