Okawaru gifted Distortion...
Shortly after I entered the Lair, Okawaru gave me a randart battleaxe as a gift. I equipped it to see what it was, and much to my dismay, I got this:
The axe is stupidly powerful this early in the game, and it's letting me one-shot kill almost everything I see, and I wouldn't have a problem with using this axe if it wasn't for the fact that there are Hydras in the Lair now and I have no way of killing them. I have Axes at level 23, and I cross-trained Maces & Flails to level 15 so I would have a weapon I could use to deal with Hydras, but now I'm stuck with Axes only and I really don't want to push my luck by trying to chop a Hydra to death.
I don't want to risk getting banished this early in the game. I have a lot of high power wands (Fire, Drain) that I could use, but then I'd be out of wands (or close to it) by the time I get out of the Lair. Is there any way to safely unwield a distortion weapon, and/or are there any alternative ways to kill Hydras that I could use right now besides using up my wands?
