Play cautious and careful. Pay attention to the spells you decide to learn (try to keep it to only 2 elemental schools). Focus mainly on doing damage, but for a Wizard I have never EVER turned off Fighting or Dodging. Any little bit of XP that happens to drop into those is only seen as a benefit for my character.
Well, he had to fight pretty hard for that loot on D:4, no question. The first ring was a cursed loudness, and the second ring right around the corner was cursed tele. If you'll notice, amongst his previous bounty was no remove curse scroll, so that made things pretty hairy in the beginning, given the bestiary of the level.
But even through that adrenaline, I still paid attention to micromanaging skill changes, raising the used schools to 2, then switching over to the meat and potatoes once they each hit that easy level.
Plus, there was a Sewer portal, and I simply couldn't pass that up. (It was the easy Purgy one.)
[Edit, I also apparently played
two levels, but thought I only played one (not counting the sewer), so I'm a little confused.]
Through all that additional loot - books, even! - no ?rc to be found. I'm a little nervous about 5 [Edit: I mean 6] for that reason. There's nothing for it, though.

BTW, I love the business of having a Deep Elf named Aule.
LOTR all the way!
Awesome. I really admired him and what he stood for. I approach life and living with a similar philosophy.
