CIP: DeFe choosing spells and such.
And now I've gone mid-game, I feel I need all the help I can get. Looking for 3-rune win for starters. Vehumet gave be few books, and I'm now beginning to wander what spell I should learn, and how I should continue with my skill progression (for example: should I raise armor as well now, and raise fighting bit more?)
I wanted to learn Iron shot to take out elemental resistant foes, but I trained air magic, so I don't think it's gonna be that effective. Last time I've used IMB, it didn't look that impressive. Looks like I'll have to go fire+air, though I don't know if that will work. Is that okay? Or should I learn iron shot anyway?
p.s: is there any way to make going down stairs less scary as a mage? Right now I summon mammals whenever I go down stairs, but I don't think that will work when I go Vault:8. How do mage character clear that? I don't think stair dancing and getting hit by vault guards several tiles is a viable tactic for this guy.
