-{{flavour|This spell reduces the chance of projectile attacks striking the caster. Even powerful attacks such as lightning bolts or dragon breath are affected, although smaller missiles are repelled to a much greater extent.}}
-'''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==
-This spell appears in several starter [[spell book]]s. Although it's 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 one of the two spells is almost mandatory for the [[Shoals]], [[Elven Halls]], and other areas infested with enemies who love to shoot at you. Note that it does ''not'' work on [[trap]] missiles, at least not when you're disarming them!
