DMsl Vs EV
I'm trying to deal with Vashnia in snake:2 right now and as soon as I met her, her and one of her friends both pinged me with a bolt taking me from 101HP Down to 24 in a single turn. I read fog and ran away.
I have the DMsl spell available to me but I'd need to train some charms to get it castable. I'm a DE, so +4 aptitudes - and I have a ring and staff of wizardry.. So its not the end of the world.
However, I haven't played since repel missiles was in the game and it seems quite a lot has changed around these two spells (Repel has been removed completely!)
Looking at the wiki for Deflect missiles it mentions the following:

My character has 24 EV and 18 AC... Its not incredible, but its still pretty high for a DE.
Is it worth investing some skill training and a level 6 spell just to beat one unique? I realise it will also be useful elsewhere at times, But am I going to get much benefit from it over and above what my current stats are?
Thanks in advance
