Amulet of the Air

Version 0.30: 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 lower your accuracy, but it offers great benefits in return. Air Magic specialists obviously benefit the most. But any character can appreciate this artefact: both Repel Missiles and rElec are rare, nice to have intrinsics. Any character who has seriously developed their skills will barely notice the accuracy drop. Overall, it's a strong amulet, especially in places where RMsl and/or rElec are nice to have.

History

• Prior to 0.27, this amulet 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.
