Ok, so the consensus seems to be AoLS, 7LB, spellbooks of Acid Ball. And I like the idea of eternium shields. The plan for now would be to a) increase To, b) do the remaining dwarf quests and hope that there are blink dogs or other source of teleport control (if not, well, I see if I really need it). As for the last wish, experience sounds tempting. I will keep this thread updated to ask for more advice later on.
