Desirability

The amulet of the Air has a poor base type, but its benefits outweigh the Inaccuracy ego. Permanent repel missiles is normally only on scarves and spell enhancers outside of staves are hard to come by, 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 boosts 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.
