| + | '''Repel Missiles''' and '''Repulsion''' may refer to: |
| − | | + | *The repulsion [[ego]] found on [[scarf#Egos|scarves]], which grants +15 EV against ranged attacks |
| − | '''Repel Missiles''' is a level 2 [[Air Magic|Air]]/[[Charms]] spell which moderately protects the caster from ranged attacks. | + | **The artefact [[Amulet of the Air]] grants repulsion |

| − | ==Effect==
| |
| − | When the spell is cast repelling missiles (Repel) status is gained. This status will not time out, instead on each successful deflection there is one in ''2 + <power> / 8''<ref>{{source ref|0.19|player.cc|5737}}</ref> chance of losing the status. The status can also be lost by magic-dispelling effects (like [[potion of cancellation]] or [[Quicksilver Bolt]]) or forgetting the spell.

| − | While active Repel Missiles reduces the [[to-hit]] of ranged attacks against the caster to a random value between:
| |
| − | *vs single-target beams: 0% - 100% of its normal value | |
| − | *vs penetrating bolts: 50% - 100% of its normal value<ref>{{source ref|0.19|beam.cc|3084}}</ref>

| − | This spell only helps you to [[ev]]ade ranged attacks; it has no effect on your ability to [[SH|block]] them.
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Deflect Missiles]] is a more advanced version of Repel Missiles and it's effect overrides Repel Missiles' effect.

| − | ==Strategy==
| |
| − | Although this spell is inferior to [[Deflect Missiles]], it's still much better than nothing, especially in the early [[Dungeon]] when Deflect Missiles isn't available and you might encounter [[centaur (monster)|centaur]]s (who have made pincushions of many a low-level player). It's also easier to cast, making it useful for hybrid-style casters who might not be ready for Deflect Missiles yet. Knowing either of the two spells is very useful while exploring [[the Shoals]], the [[Elven Halls]], and other areas infested with enemies who love to shoot at you.
