Some questions I have:

I found the orange crystal plate armor and a ring of wizardry- does it make sense to train up some Spellcasting skills?
Any suggestions in general on improvements to make to the character, strategy advice, next steps, etc? I have yet to clear out Shoals but I'm wary of that because of all of the ranged attackers... and of course, there's always the land of Slime!
Thanks in advance!

Re: CiP: HOAk- Axing You All About Grishnakh

Stop training Axes and Shields and never train again in this game (Broad Axe is excellent at Axes 18, normal shield is excellent at Shields 15).
Stop training Invocations (Banish is capped out at Invocations 10.5 and you don't really need that high Invocations for Corrupt), stop training Stealth (it's useless in plate armour).
If you don't want to learn any spells, just keep training Fighting up to 20+, then Armour up to 20+ (or Armour up to 15, then Figthing up to 20, then Armour again). After that you can train Dodging. Don't train Evocations if you don't have any good evocable items (Use Ctrl+f to search for "misc" and pick up lamps of fire, fans of gales etc. if they are available).

Re: CiP: HOAk- Axing You All About Grishnakh

The orange crystal plate armour is mostly a +8 crystal plate armour, which is a really good armour, a lot better than your plate. It also gives two marginally useful resists, some int, and archmagi, but that's nothing you really need to care about. If you have some other way than the plate you are wearing to resist fire and cold you should definitely wear it (Rings work fine, you can swap them in when needed). If you don't, you should probably still wear it. If you wear it, don't try to cast spells in it.

Stop training shields, stealth, invo, evo and axes. Yes that leaves just fighting. Also turn on armour.

Do Shoals (possibly only up to level 4), then Vaults up to level 4, Depths, Vaults:5 (also get the shoals rune if you didn't get it earlier), then Zot. Skip Slime and Crypt unless you really want to play through them. It can be fun, but will make it less likely that you win because it's dangerous.

Flight is good for Shoals, but be really careful with evocable flight because you cant renew it. Drowning will kill you, so you don't want to do that.

Re: CiP: HOAk- Axing You All About Grishnakh

The orange crystal armor is much better than the plate overall, although I'm a bit worried you'll be losing your only rF and rC. You also aren't carrying any jewelry that you aren't wearing! Jewelry can be swapped in 1 turn (.5 to remove, .5 to put on the replacement) and you usually want to carry extra jewelry for various situations. You should hopefully have an rF and rC ring, for when you need them. Without those, I'm a bit hesitant to take off the plate. Ignoring resists, the CPA is much better and will "grow" better with more armor, faster than the plate will grow. Both get better with armor skill of course, just the CPA gets more better.
