Another one on the sure way to become an Archmage died to my stupidness and failure of reading and doing things slowly.

This time i had an absolutely awesome lvl 39 DE Wizard. Saved Khele, had enough artifacts for the ratling.

FGJC5 had a greater vault of red dragons with several wyrms, killing more than half of them got me from lvl 18 to lvl29, so i had to abandon it and go to the maze. Then i came back and cleared it. I also cleared BUGCV after the maze .

Cleared the Library, got the books, cleared everything else too.

Darkforge had no wish for me and gave me the annoying teleportitis. I tried some chaos alchemy, but no RoDS or AoLS got out of it, so i had to kill Blup's Mom, since there was an ordinary ring on the floor there. I used the ring to get AoLS, saved Khele and went deeper. Nothing could pose me any problem.

Got to casino, found crown of leadership there, another RoDS, a GoGS, i also bought some books and all the wands (i collected all of them for the mana battery corruption). So, while playing the casino, i get the awaited mana battery! I drained all the wands i had, then decided to charge them from PP.

I didn't do that before, but i remember reading in the wiki about 50 PP per charge and how it would ask me how many PP i like to invest. I didn't even bother to read the question, since i knew from the wiki (damn it and the one that wrote the wrong info there). SO i type 50 (meaning PP, but apparently it asked for charges) wanting to put 1 charge into the blessed wand of cold and - BAM - the explosion gets me from ~500HP to -1391!

I'm so frustrated right now i'd bang the keyboard into the monitor .
