YAVP - DGAE - 15 Runes

One day I couldn't decide what god I wanted to play with when I was generating a character, so I started a random demigod. An air elementalist. It stormed through the game, only to fall to ineptitude in hell. A few more met their end in hell before I *finally* bothered to learn regeneration. This one, in all my years of crawling, is the first character that has ever used the spell. I don't know how I ever played this game without it.

Anyway, I kept a reasonably tight spell set through the game. An early drop of Mephitic Cloud got the game going. Lightning Bolt and melee did nearly the rest. I only found Airstrike after I'd done the hells and pan. A shame, because it is great for tactical elimination of neqoxecs. Tornado I only got going after I'd cleared Tomb and I cast it only the once or twice in Zot 5 for kicks. I'd read that the Shroud becomes useless after the midgame, but I still saw it bending away attacks from big things right up to the end. It's hard to tell how effective it is, since I was blocking quite a bit also, but it seemed ok.

Look at those stats! Pity Str and Dex don't do more. Demigods wouldn't need the followers change if it were the case.

Thanks to all the devs and contributors - this was a pretty ace 12 and a bit hours. Redacted dump:
