CiP MfTm I have no idea what I'm doing

You'd think after a 15 rune victory I'd be able to take a break. Nope. Wanted to try some of the other combinations bouncing around in my noggin. Took a few tried, but once this guy got blade hands castable, it's been smooth sailing. But now I'm at a crossroads. I'm not super in love with trollleather/gourmand, I think I'd rather do the StDA and guardian ammy. Then again that regen has saved my ass more than once, I swear merfolk are more susceptible to poison. I memorized throw icicle for hydras, but I just ended up punching them. Just bought the book with cBlink and other useful translocations, but I'm worried of spreading myself thin. Book of Annihilations is about, so I'd like to learn glaciate. Nothing has proved problematic in melee against this hasted-heroism'd-bladehanded mofo, but I feel I need ranged options as well.

Forget about something. Considering you're worshipping oka, forget about glaciate. It's huge investment and with your poor int you'll find it underwhelming. Some ice magic won't hurt - you might find ozo useful even in late game - but training conjurations just limits your melee capabilities. With wizardry source you could consider freezing cloud, but nothing more. Remember that when you use blade hands, your spell success drops drastically and thus your transformation does not combine too well with in-combat casting.

YASD, player ghost on Spider5, pretty much because I was stuck in blade hands, and couldn't use wand/spell of hasting. Mostly though because I assumed a yellow ghost would be a cinch and didn't bother examining! I got metabolic englaciaction and dragon form up. Being hasted while everything else is slowed instills much overconfidence!

You could have ended the transformation yourself, couldn't you?
