Good. Thanks.

Uh, anything more complicated than finding a list of spells (and I
don't even find all of them) is beyond me.

Great.

Which would be heal*, but I've got more of them than I can
reasonably carry, anyway (20 heal wounds, 44 healing, just at my
stash, 6 and 5 more respectively, in my inventory, plus a wand of
healing, and one at the stash).
That's just because I normally don't get much damage, and hide in
the Tomb of D. in emergencies (like after being Tormented by greater
mummies).

I've got the mutation to somewhat resist mutations. Is the amulet
still necessary, then?
My mutations are quite neat (Alter Self until all bad ones were
gone, each time I picked up something bad):
You are agile (Dex +1).
Your flesh is cold resistant.
You can control translocations.
You can teleport at will.
You can translocate small distances instantaneously.
Your muscles are very strong (Str +2), but stiff (Dex -2).
You are somewhat resistant to further mutation.
You are partially covered in smooth nacreous scales (AC + 1).
You are partially covered in purple scales (AC + 2).
I could take Alter Self along, and just correct anything a monster
might add to that. (Would take too long to wait in between casts, I
guess, using up too much food.)
Would taking along a staff of energy be a good idea? (Horrible
Things, the Tomb of D. and such are rather high level...)

Ah. Thanks.
