| Air Elementalists are magicians who have specialised in air, one of the four types of elemental magic. Air Magic provides many useful charms in addition to some unique destructive capabilities. |

- You should keep an eye on your magic points, in case you need to escape. Swiftness can be a lifesaver, but only if you have enough MP to cast it!
- Sif Muna or Vehumet are gods that offer help with magic, but you are by no means limited to worshiping either of them.

- Prior to 0.20, the book of Air contained Repel Missiles instead of Airstrike.
- Prior to 0.19, targeters did not attempt to calculate angles for a multizap.
- The starting book, Book of Air used to contain the flight spell, but was removed in 0.17.
- It used to be possible to triplezap and even quadrizap, but zapping was limited to twice in some earlier version of the game.
- Prior to 0.14, Air Elementalists started with only 1 level of Spellcasting and 20 gold.
