A few dead orcs later Vehumet already starts gifting. His first gift is [[freeze]], which I politely decline.

Upon hitting D4 I have not encountered a single [[unique]], but my XP is rising steadily because of countless [[worm]]s and some bands of orcs and [[gnoll]]s. I get into that floor almost at XL 7, which is not bad at all. [[Blork the orc]], however, greets me down at the stairs. I almost have him down when I start getting surrounded by smaller fry, and I prudently retreat up the stairs. I meet Blork again conveniently close to a large body of deep water, an irresistible situation for applying mephitic cloud, and again, it does not fail to work.

Vehumet’s next gift is [[sting]]. I don’t plan on training any [[Poison Magic]], but then again, in the early game this spell is quite useful and very low cost. I take it for now. Later on I will hopefully have lots of poison themed books that I can tear apart to forget this one. I try it out on an [[ogre]], but honestly, what really brings him down is my trusty combination of mephitic cloud and a well-placed fire-column. But the good news is that as early as D4 I have maxed out the [[spell power]] of magic dart, which means it is now time to graduate from the elementaries of magic and branch out into other areas. I now start training [[fighting]], [[maces & flails]], [[armour]], [[dodging]], [[shields]] and [[evocations]], on top of the four magic subjects I do anyway. That gives a measly 9% experience for each of the minor subjects, and only 18 for my single major spellcasting. Growth in knowledge will be slow, therefore, and I will not become a superhero anytime soon.
