This just happened..
The story: I decided to have a go with mindcrafters sense it seemed like an interesting class. I got a candle-born drakeling mindcrafter named Prometheus. Everything was doing well, until when I went into the Village dungeon and put on a cursed girdle of carrying. I panicked, dropped what I could and ran back to the town. I couldn't carry much and food-wise, I could only carry 4 large rations at once (which was my only source of food). So I got as much food as I could carry and went into the puppy cave. On the third floor I found some herbs, and boosted my willpower and toughness up by like 5 points each. Once I got there, I went to the fourth floor and found a lawful altar.
I sacrificed everything that walked on it and prayed for my cursed girdle to be uncursed, and it was. So I spent an hour sacrificing more, and prayed for a pre-crowning. I got the sun's messenger. Not exactly what I was hoping for, but I figured it would be nice to have because mindcrafters can't use mindcraft on the undead. So I got my piety really high, got a lot of nice stuff from sacrificing, and continued down the dungeon. I went to the bottom floor and found the vault. After finding the vault and emptying all my PP onto the creatures inside, I decided to shoot my uncursed wand of lightning. To my surprise, it shot directly to the side of me, and proceeded to bounce between the two walls beside me, dealing ~350 damage to me in one turn.
TL;DR: shot a wand of lightning which bounced between two walls and obliterated me.
This is really disappointing too, I started out with a potion of cure corruption (which I lost track of - see below), found awesome armor, and got an awesome artifact. Oh well, I guess I can learn something from this: never zap a wand of lightning in a hallway.
