Assorted Questions

Questions:
Extended was never an option for me since I wanted to get 5 runes and a Chei win. However assuming that had kept going with Chei into extended how would this character fare?
Is there anything particular that I should have done during the last part of the run if I had wanted to prepare this character for extended? I could have bought the Necronomicon.
Approximately how high do you need to raise Necromancy and Transmutation order to be able to cast Necromutation with say 25 int and less than 10% fail wearing robes?
Any thoughts on the mutation potion quaffing after Slime? Turn 64835 -> 66356. Good or bad decision and would you have stopped at some earlier point?
Is 3k turns about normal to spend in the Abyss to get the rune and escape? Felt like it took a long time…
Whats up with the log saying I entered Zot and Crypt during my time in the Abyss?
Does mutation “MP-powered wands” increase power of wands?
The Gauntlet always seems too scary to enter and I’ve died there once so a bit apprehensive about it. Any idea how often it is sort of safe to do it and if there some good advice how or when to do it
What would be best vs pain and torrent immune monsters, the +7 sceptre of Torment (weapon) {pain, torment} or +9 Morningstar of freezing?
I never use immolation scrolls because when I’m surrounded by lots of mobs and think maybe it would be effective I’m too scared of how much damage I will take. Thoughts on using them safely in melee?
All comments or pointers welcome!
Lessons learned:
Don’t use wand of clouds next to deep water if you want to get your hands of the only Eveningstar (except the Sceptre) appearing in the game. This time it didn’t matter because it was branded with holy wrath and I never found a brand weapon scroll anyway.
-tele in Zot 5 is really good and saved me at least 2 times from teleporting.
The sturdy frame mutation is probably better than I first thought and with Chei I think it boosted my EV to a better defensive effect than more AC from scales would have done.
