So I have a MiEE^Veh: cleared D: L: and O:, about to go for the first L: branch. Relevant code:

  Code:

Magic:  28/28      EV: 19    Int: 25    God:    Vehumet [******]
Gold:   2739       SH:  6    Dex: 12    Spells: 8/34 levels left

rFire    + . .     SeeInvis .   s - +5 morningstar

   Level 0,7 Transmutations
 + Level 11,7 Earth Magic
 + Level 8,5 Evocations



U - the +5 shield "Watokoev" {*Slow rC+ Int+7}
I found this thing in L:6. Even with the good aptitude, is it actually worth investing into Shields skill for the Int increase with the *Slow? Should I just go get a regular shield? ctrl-f shows no bucklers and a single ordinary shield besides this randart. What should Jesas do?

Personally, I would use it. Int+7 would be too much to resist for me, plus a shield works well with your amulet of reflection. I don't consider *Slow _that_ bad.
