First ever ascension, and as I've been playing on and off since 0.3.4 I think it's about time! :)

I'm pretty proud of this, I've never made it higher than XL15 before I'm delighted that not only did I manage to win, but got a nearly "complete" win. I was hoping to beat a Ziggurat too, but on Zig:18 I got a Pan Lord floor which really kicked my ass and forced me to random tele/semi-controlled blink to the exit, apport the good looking loot and jump down to Zig:19 only to find an even worse floor, so I decided not to risk my first win.

Saved all my enchant weapon scrolls and used them all on that demon trident to get a good backup weapon, and trained up polearms to get it to minimum attack delay, then only had to use it once when I got cornered in a spider-themed zig floor by multiple ghost moths (mana draining stare meant they kept me on 0 mana even if I channeled every turn) - ended up doing better damage with several wands of lightning anyway. Go figure.

A mix of knowledge bots, wiki*, luck and playing carefully for once. I think to be honest I only recently realised I have to run sometimes, and not everything can just be killed by 'zerking into it. Basically, mummy wizards are "easy", there are five "phases" to the game as I see it:

1. survive the start
2. get meph cloud and confuse/stab everything
3. get Sif's channeling and confuse/nuke everything
4. get OOD and explode everything
5. If it moves, firestorm it. Hell, you have "infinite" mana and no food clock, firestorm round corners if you think there *might* be something there...

*I know it's not always up-to-date, but it's still damn useful. I wish people here who mock people for using it actually tried updating instead.
