First off, I'd like to say that both this and my cleric run had the wizard outfit involve Squeaky Shoes.
The result of this was me not having the benefit of fast MP regeneration while using magic-focused characters since getting yet another god to make potshots at me would be no fun and I like having speed boots.

This run involved a lot of uses of the Entomb spell.
I ended up modifying the majority of the dungeon levels to provide a straight-ish and safe path between the two staircases.

I didn't use the "save scum" command, but I definitely did save-scum.

I think that Wedding Ring of waterwalking/freedom/sleep resistance is one of the best artifacts I've ever gotten.
Belweir supplied me with a Staff of Utility and a Staff of Destruction, both of which were abused to ridiculous levels. Even Knock. Especially Knock.
Copious numbers of boulders were accumulated and spent on murder.

Going pure Wizard means casting ridiculous numbers of spells. Casting that many spells makes Belweir extremely happy.
These two facts made fighting Ghosts a matter of 25-75 MP and a surge of happiness once I learned Flamestrike.
Sunfire didn't see too much use, but it was exceptionally helpful in defeating the Earth Elementals in Quizar's level.
Chain Lightning is absurdly powerful when combined with earth magic (and/or Knock).

I learned Cure Poison early on, but avoided using healing magic aside from that.
Once I got an amulet of poison resistance H'ruth stopped bothering me almost entirely aside from the odd paralysis while burning turns for MP regen.

I learned Resurrect and accumulated leader corpses, but was too lazy to actually do anything further than that.
I also didn't go into Tridude-land since I didn't wanna deal with the Minotaur and Tridude casters would wreck me anyhow.

As per my usual patterns, I accumulated a massive disenchantment on a particular flaming sword.
The hilarious thing is that I could still kill dragons in 1-3 swings with -19 disenchantment. I don't know how someone with 0 relevant skills and no physical dice beyond the first could possibly do that much damage (or be that accurate), but it's
definitely a thing.

Nice! I just finished my first XOM only run, so I might try this one out. Alternatively, couldn't you have also quaffed blessed healing potions to beef your max hp? The high-turn counts also reminds me of a run where I wasted a bunch of turns in a '
hamster-wheel' (a donut-shaped corridor that the player can simply use the run command to quickly spend turns) while wearing different outfits in an attempt to appease the divine.
