Asking because I don't know how to make a Sorcerer that can fly and throw missile spells at the same time but not can't make other fly using Sorcery. Affliction (Flight) can also affect others, plain Flight is appropriate but keeping it on prevents the character from casting other spells.

This is the way to do it. See Detect Magic p. 19 GURPS Thaumatology: Sorcery for an example of a "self-buff."

Personally, I'd probably still build this as a Buffing spell per normal to avoid things like "Self-Flight" vs. "Fly Other."
