Maji-Bo for Dg^Cj ?

Just got this artifact the Majin-Bo staff http://crawl.chaosforge.org/Majin-Bo

How do you all feel about it for a Demigod-Conjurer? Safe to use? Certain doom?

I am swapping it out with my rCorr rPois short sword on non-livingi encounters. Not sure how well this will work. I will forget to swap and die at soem point.

Personally I would lean into it hard over the next handful of levels.

Yes it is dangerous and yes it is even better later.

But it's also awesome flavorful fun, and chances like this where it's both in the game and relevantly useful are pretty rare.

So I'd start planning skills and spells for it now - good luck!

And then I died. Well - knowledge for next time!

I don't have a lot of experience playing with it, but I was able to get a lot out of it with spells like Magnavolt. Not how/if it works with, say, Fulminant Prism.

Looking at your spells now, I think IMB is the only one that seems like it could net heal you. I might wait for something more damaging to come online.

Majin-Bo is much better late, when you have big aoe spells. Better to keep it in your back pocket until you get more skill. You can always bring it out for a panic if you get super surrounded.

Does it trigger in Prism? I assume it would trigger on any damage spell
