A great source of rElec, and a good amulet to wear for general purposes, if you can bear the inaccuracy. Permanent repel missiles is great, especially in the early- to midgame. The bonus to EV and Stealth, and the ability to fly are nice extras.

In [[0.12]], this artefact's base type was changed to an [[amulet of inaccuracy]] (thus eliminating amulets of controlled flight entirely, as levitation itself was removed in favor of flight).  To compensate for this, it got a permanent [[Repel Missiles]] effect.

Desirability

The amulet of the Air[1] 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 useful.
