I believe Nethack was the same - you get the amulet of Yendor and then have to bring it back up to the surface. It would be okay if DCSS didn't copy the same basic mechanism.

The tutorial (=hints) mode in AceHack actually points out the location of the first secret door a player comes across, both to explain the mechanic and to help avoid situations like this one. (It's a freebie, but a small enough one that I don't really mind giving it.)

Perhaps manuals could give an extra level in the relevant skill when used (or an extra amount of training at a fixed amount of XP, or proportional to character levels).

This information isn't shown in-game on xv (and IIRC, not via ?/ either); and is very important for knowing how to deal with an unknown monster safely. This is one of the things in Crawl that most promotes spoile...
