A '''robe of the Archmagi''' acts as an enhancer for all spells, increasing your [[spell power]]. However, it does not make them any easier to cast or reduce your [[spell hunger]].
 
 
 
==Strategy==
 
These are good for mid-game spellcasters, although later on, once your spell skills are higher and spells start hitting the power cap, you may want to replace it with a robe of [[resistance]].
 
 
 
This robe is particularly useful for those using [[Hexes]], due to the binary nature of that school: conjurers and the like with more spell power may simply deal a few more damage per hit, but for enchanters, this robe can make the difference between the spell succeeding or failing entirely. The only other sources of the Archmagi ego are the [[hat of the High Council]] and the [[Majin-Bo]], both of which are extremely rare [[unrand]] [[artefact]]s; a robe of the Archmagi is relatively easier to come across.
 
 
 
==History==
 
In ancient versions of ''Crawl'', before [[0.8]], this robe reduced spell failure rates as well, but also reduced XP gain to 1/4 of normal, providing a serious threat of undertraining to most characters.
