Air Magic

Version 0.30: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Air Magic skill determines how easily you can use spells involving air and electricity.

Air magic features many offensive Conjurations with unique targeting mechanics, such as Shock's ability to doublezap or Plasma Beam's auto-targeting. Many of its earlier spells can also be used to create clouds. Most Air Magic can be resisted with electricity resistance.
