CiP: DECj of Veh - looking for Spellcaster advice

I recently made a Deep Elf Conjurer, and it is so far my only really successful caster. Problem is, as I'm getting further and further down I'm finding myself without any idea of what to do or how to really skill the character. I'm wanting to finish this character with 15 runes, and maybe try my hands on a Ziggurat for once, as I've never done so with any previous characters. (Well, I did look through one using wizmode, but that's hardly an actual attempt at clearing it) Character dump below.

  Code:
 Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.13-a0-188-g716d182 (tiles) character file.

So, my current thoughts about this character is that I've soon got Fire Storm at 1% failrate, which'll be good. I'm using it sparingly already vs hard uniques such as Mara or rooms filled with fiends. However, I'm really low on spell levels, and I don't really know what spells I should forget. I currently have one single scroll of amnesia, and I don't feel secure enough in my knowledge to know what spell to remove. I'm thinking Ignite Poison, now that Spider is cleared.

I've gotten a crystal ball of energy, and I know they're most optimally used when you're around 20-30ish mp, although my evocation is really low currently. If someone can provide some more information on how to use it properly, I'd appreciate it.

I'm thinking of branching out into necromancy for spells such as Death's Door or revivification, and/or Lich Form for extended/Zig. I found a necronomicon earlier on containing both necromutation and Death's Door, so I'm gonna learn those when I can. I've also got an amulet of clarity in a shop to help avoid confusion when necromutated.

I'm also thinking about leaving Vehumet for Sif muna, but I don't know how wise of a decision that would be.

My defenses are sort of low, so I would like to train those a bit. I'm thinking I'll do that.

Any general advice or information I could get would be highly appreciated! :)

Quick edit: Also, I got Controlled Blink and Apportation with the intent of ninja'ing most runes, but if I can manage to kill the pan/hell lords that would be great.

Edit: you can forget Magic Dart, Iskenderun's Battlesphere, Conjure Flame, Force Lance, Pain, Ignite Poison. You can forget a spell by destruction of a book, no need to have so many scrolls of amnesia.
I would not train Necromancy until cBlink is grey.
Don't abandon Vehumet, you can die to own fire storm as far as I know

Re: CiP: DECj of Veh - looking for Spellcaster advice

Thank you; That table was much easier to understand than the knowledge bot. I also forgot that you can unlearn spells by destroying the books. Shows how experienced I am with spellcasters :P
If I have learned, say, haste, and want to unlearn it (Why I would want to is beyond me, but hypothetically speaking) can I destroy any book with haste in it in order to unlearn it?
It would also seem as if I can only forget one spell from the book of conjuration by ripping out a page. I should've probably chosen something other than Magic Dart and used another book for that. Oh well.

Re: CiP: DECj of Veh - looking for Spellcaster advice

Yes, any book can allow you to forget the spell, it is not required to be the same book you learned the spell from. Only one spell per book can be forgotten this way.
