New wizlab

[ololoev]

A wizlab that is taken by Trog followers.
Mage corpses and skeletons around.
Clouds of fog appear everywhere (as fclouds in the Ice cave do) to hinder your magic capabilities.
A lot of spellbooks that are set on fire when it comes into your los.
Spriggan zerkers and stone giants.
Everybody like antimagic there. And prefer to read scrolls of silence.
This place is truly the bane of mages!
The last and the fattest spriggan zerker should wield Spellbinder!

I hope you got what I want to tell because I am in berserk rage!!!

Sounds really cool, you should make it

[ololoev]

you should make it

Sorry, I withdrew from crawl a bit because of Rusian AI Cup. Just an idea.

The least agreeable part to me is "new wizlab".
Instead, corrupted wizlab, like some temples are corrupted with Lugonu altars and demonic plants.
So you enter one of the existing wizlabs, but it has ololoev's monster set inside, instead of the usual.
Only occasionally, like 10% of the time.
Unseemly magics, like the mutagenic fog machine in Cigotuvi's fleshworks, can be cancelled or reversed.

Porposal: take Iskenderun's Mystic Tower, turn the wizards into spriggan berzerkers and the statues into stone giants with berzerk. Call it "Ruins of Iskenderun's Mystic Tower" and add some corpses and whatnot and a Trog altar.

I'll try it but that is one complicated .des file and I'm likely to break it.

Edit: I don't understand how to incorporate this into wizlab.des, so I haven't debugged this. But I'm imagining something like the following:
