Amulet of the Air

Version 0.29: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

A sky-blue amulet, suffused with enchantments that protect the wearer and make their Air spells more powerful. Its creator lacked just one thing: a steady hand.

Desirability

The amulet of the Air might have the Inaccuracy ego, but its benefits will by far outweigh it. Permanent repel missiles is normally only available on scarves, while spell enhancers outside of magical staves are hard to come by. Electricity resistance and flight are also very useful from time to time. Any character that has seriously developed their 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

• Prior to 0.27, this artefact gave +5 EV, but did not boost Air magic.
• 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.
