Was a pretty fun game. I got The Shining 1 on D:1 and managed to make it work. There were a few fights, particularly early in the game, where “you cannot physically be hit for 5 turns” was the difference between maybe dying and being confident in survival. Angels are strong. And cleansing flame can’t miss. Free Sinv + rN+++ + extra accuracy is nice. (I never found a good source of Sinv this whole game.)
I used a Sacred Scrouge most of the game, mostly for flavour. But it’s got good base damage and low mindelay, which was important because I was also wearing the Schroompunch cloak most of the game. Found it in a shop. Very nice cloak.
The whole game I was looking for nice artefacts to enchant. The only one I found that’s worth anything was the 14 crystal plate armour “Nuugraddi” {rElec rPois rF+ rN+ Str+3} which I found in a trove (and which was initially +0). If I wasn’t a mountain dwarf I would have worn crystal plate armour of rC+ instead, so that was 2 free resists and str+3. Not bad, but not that amazing either. Never found a good artifact weapon 
Near the end of the game I discovered that due to having accidental Wiz*2, and being a Mountain Dwarf, I could somewhat cast spells. Awaken Armour was suddenly an amazing spell, with the armour dealing 2 times 110 damage. I just had to tank to keep the armour alive. Blink, Vhi’s Electric Charge, and Passage of Golubria provided decent utility, and I used Fortress blast for massive AOE in zot. Pretty fun setup. Felt like the spell did much more damage than my mace, even though I was fully specced into strength.
Almost got killed in the Abyss. Not certain what happened. I was just suddenly surrounded and at half hp. I burned half the blink scrolls I found in the entire game getting out of that. Later went back and got the rune, just to show them.
