YAVP (Was CIP) - Playing a NaWz of Cheibriados
End result so far - I've cleared up to Lair:3 and and Orc:1 that both had entrances on D:11 and I'm maxed out with piety under Cheibriados at level 13. So far I'm pretty happy with the character but I'm wondering how the hell I'm going to play him. I've managed to acquire quite a few weapons already as well as access to some end-game tiered spells:
Weapon wise I picked up a Whip of Venom and the Whip of Reaching off Grum that I've been using for the Dungeon thus far. However I've also got over 350 Arrows, a Bow of Evasion, and a Bow of Frost; over 125 Bolts and a Crossbow of Frost; a Lajatang, a Staff of Air, and a Staff of Cold; a Trident of Demon Slaying. The weapons are all uncursed but I haven't a clue on the stats.
If I want too I can buy an +0 Orcish buckler or a +0,+1 Quarterstaff of Protection from shops in the main dungeon, and I have access to a +2 Shield already in my stash. I'm currently wearing an +0 Orcish Leather Armour of Fire Resistance and have access to a Steam Dragon Hide.
Spell Wise I've picked up all the the spells from the Wizard starting book, as well as everything but Confusing Touch from Cantrips. I have access to the book of Hinderances with spells I'm not really inclined to touch. I have access to both the Grand Grimoire and the Book of Annihilations for later already.
Outside of the above, I have access to a Crystal Ball of Energy, 2 Enchant Weapon II Scrolls, 1 Enchant Weapon II Scroll, 1 Enchant Armor Scroll, 1 Scroll of Acquirement, and there is a Latern of Shadows somewhere in the dungeon already.

It feels to me that the RNG is screaming "Level 9 Conjuration or Summoning Caster" at the top of its lungs - what with me having 40 Intelligence and access to both Vehumet Specials. Question though is if I should go Mace & Flail with Shield or run it with Staves with Evocations? Should I maybe pick up Ranged Weapons, assuming I come across a book with Portal Projectile in it soon?
