Amulet of Repel Missile / Ring of Evoke Deflect Missiles
There are a couple of ways that this could be implemented. First, it could be an amulet with a permanent repel/deflect missiles intrinsic. Inaccuracy would be removed as an ego, and the Amulet of the Air would receive the new ego. It would still be vastly superior, because it would still include the extra EV, rElec, and flight. Whether or not it would have Repel Missiles or Deflect Missiles as its intrinsic is up for debate, though it feels to me that if you are using your amulet slot on this, why not give it the more powerful spell.
Conversely, it could be a ring of evocable repel/deflect missile. Deflect missiles seems to make sense to me, as it is a level 6 spell, just like Invisibility. The evocations level necessary to make it evocable could be copied from the ring of invisibility. On the other hand, evoke blink is an ego that is available on artifact armours, and it could make sense to implement Repel Missiles as an additional evocable ability that is available in a similar fashion.
Let me know what you think of my idea, and any balance issues that may need to be resolved (i.e. having the spell more easily available while wearing heavier armour.)
