| | |
| '''Repel Missiles''' is a level 2 [[Charms]]/[[Air Magic]] spell which moderately protects the caster from ranged attacks, reducing a missile's [[to-hit]] by 0% to 50% of its original value if it is a bolt, or by 0% to 100% if it is a single-target beam. This reduction is done after your [[shields|shield blocking]] value has been rolled, so this spell only improves your ability to dodge missiles, not your ability to block them. Increased [[spell power]] lengthens the duration of the spell, but does not improve the spell's chance of repelling attacks. | |

| ==Strategy==
| |
| Although this spell is inferior to [[Deflect Missiles]], it's still much better than nothing, especially in the early [[Dungeon]] when Deflect Missiles isn't available and you might encounter [[centaur (monster)|centaur]]s (who have made pincushions of many a low-level player). It's also easier to cast, making it useful for hybrid-style casters who might not be ready for Deflect Missiles yet. Knowing either of the two spells is very useful while exploring [[the Shoals]], the [[Elven Halls]], and other areas infested with enemies who love to shoot at you.

| *[[Demonspawn]] with the Repulsion Field will eventually develop a permanent repel missiles effect as well. | |
| *Worshipers of [[Qazlal]] will eventually acquire a permanent Repel Missiles effect with enough [[piety]].
