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.
