Add a Prayer for PC's Trapped in Mystic's Room
Similar in spirit to the prayer for pickaxes in the elemental temples, there could be an expensive prayer for players trapped in the dwarven mystic's room. If the PC doesn't have a means of teleportation, the prayer would grant a 0 charge wand of teleportation (chaotic gods maybe would grant a 0 charge wand of destruction). Obviously, this is a pretty rare situation, but I think it would be a fun little detail.

I like it, but I would give a wand of destruction to all. I like the idea that your deity is a bit of a prankster when given the chance.

Otherwise your suggestion of chaotic god = WoD would be great, but nobody ever visits the mystic while chaotic.

Personally I think this is something you should pay the price for. It's not a 'beginner's trap' where you couldn't have known in advance.

This seems a bit exploitable to me. Teleport into the room, drop your wand of teleport, pray, and you can get extra wands of teleport or otherwise rare wands of destruction, then pick up your wand and leave.

If there needs to be a prayer solution for this, then I'd suggest just having your god randomly teleport the PC. There's a few other areas (HMV scroll room) where this can happen, IIRC.

A possible alternative is to create a new "one way door" and place it in the mystic's room (and other such places).

This could be circumvented by the deity booming "LOOK AROUND YOU, YOU FOOL" if there is a suitable wand on the ground in that room.

Don't think how much exploitable it could be invested is expansive enough. Also deities in ADOM ain't that stupid. On the 3rd attempt to get a reward deity could just caught at you.

Could also work very well indeed.
