Amulet of the Air

Version 0.26: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

A sky-blue amulet. It must have been given its many protective properties by a powerful air mage, although it seems the one thing they lacked was a steady hand.

Desirability

The amulet of the Air has a poor base type, but its benefits outweigh the Inaccuracy ego. Permanent repel missiles and +5 evasion are hard to beat while electricity resistance and on-demand flight are very useful from time to time. Any character that has seriously developed its weapon skills throughout the game will barely notice the accuracy drop, making this an excellent amulet to swap in on occasion or even wear regularly.

History

• In 0.27, this artefact will boost the spell power of Air Magic, but no longer give +5 EV.
• Prior to 0.12, this artefact's base type was an amulet of controlled flight. When this intrinsic was removed in 0.12, the base type was changed to an amulet of inaccuracy and it received the permanent Repel Missiles effect to make up for that penalty.
