Wucad Mu Monastery and Chei - Ayayayay!
The Wucad Mu Monastery wiz lab is atm a death trap for Chei characters - if mermory serves, there is no exit anywhere close to the entrance point, so you can't just leave.
Furthermore, because you move slowly and other methods of travel are either unavailable or chancey at best, you are beset by a constant stream of shadowy monks. You can not simply walk away so you have to fight.
They are, believe it or not, tough as nails, even for a Chei boosted character. Plus you literally cannot rest because you are haunted relentlessly.
If you aren't lucky enough to have aura of abjuration, you are pretty much dead. I know some places/enemies are meant to be more difficult for different kinds of characters, but this goes far beyond that - unless you are incredibly lucky, you are sure to join the ranks of the spectral monks.
Maybe you can tell which wiz lab you get by the entry vault, I don't know that, but if you could, you could avoid it that way, that that is very spoilery.
You could avoid evey wiz lab on the basis that you might get trapped in the monastery, but that would be anti-fun.
Suggestions:
-Place an exit close to the entrance (sounds weird)
-Make Chei slow the place down like Abyss and Orb run
-or perhaps remove the shadow monk mechanic entirely and replace them with something else instead
