currently playing a SPAr (Spriggan Artificer), and things have gone well. Ran around like a coward killing things with my rod after turning of stealth training. (i never liked stealth)
Got to the temple and worshiped Namlex and dropped 3 useless meat rations to get a deck of wonders and started pulling cards like mad. Got lucky and pulled two experience cards and 2 good helix cards (scales and regen) while whiffing on the wild magic cards (phew!).
Now the deck has run out and I'm sitting over leveled with a very (very!) large free experience pool and not sure what to do with it. I could victory dance my evocations, spells or something else but i don't know what is best at this point. I have a book of conjurations (fire).
1) What do you recommend I victory dance to?
2) Is there a cap on skill levels? If there isn't whats a reasonable extended game skill number (curious).
3) Should I pick up a weapon and turn stealth back on and stop casting and start stabbing?

I'm not 100% positive, but I was under the impression that it's just Fire skill that counts. So if you have any Fire skill at all, you'll get the fire+earth book, and otherwise you'll get the ice+air book.
Edit: Ok, I just checked the code, here's how it works: You get the ice+air book if ice > fire, or if ice = fire and air > earth. Otherwise, you get the fire+earth book. Also, if you somehow have 0 in all four elemental skills, the book you get depends on the aptitudes for your race, with some randomness.

B) What is Victory Dance and how/why do I do it?
C) My current character is an Ogre Wizard. It says I am not religious. I have found at least one altar. Can I pray at it to become religious? What is a good choice and why and how? Can I change my mind later?
D) My one spoily question: Can a wand be recharged or should I just throw them away?
