Reassess the sacrifice value of Sacrifice Artifice

See topic title. Sacrifice Artifice as an "incredible" sacrifice made sense when you gave up infinite teleport+heal+haste in the lategame and a solid chance of having effectively unlimited quantities in the midgame. Now that all of the no-brainer wands are defunct, you're mostly just giving up a path towards a solid ranged offense.

Do sacrifice values affect each other? Sacrificing magic and artifice makes both sacrifices have a stronger impact

Appreciate the increase in piety for sac love - I almost always pick that one because I prefer to rambo the dungeon as a one man killing machine, even though it is a significant sacrifice.

Sac Love is worth effectively nothing if you've already sacrificed Artifice and Summonings and worth less if you've sacrificed one of the two, and similarly Artifice is worth less if you've already sacrificed Love. Sac Dodging and Sac Armour are worth more combined than their individual values combined. Sac Experience and Sac Courage are also worth more combined than individually.
