A robe of the Archmagi acts as an enhancer for all spells, increasing your spell power. However, it does not make them any easier to cast or reduce your spell hunger.

Strategy

These are good for mid-game spellcasters, although later on, once your spell skills are higher and spells start hitting the power cap, you may want to replace it with a robe of resistance.

This robe is particularly useful for those using Hexes, due to the binary nature of that school: conjurers and the like with more spell power may simply deal a few more damage per hit, but for enchanters, this robe can make the difference between the spell succeeding or failing entirely.

History

In earlier versions of Crawl, this robe reduced XP gain to 1/4 of normal, making it nearly useless for most characters. This effect was removed as of 0.8.
