No. I have developed a habit of relying on scrolls instead of staves, because they dont fail, they weight less, they cannot be drained, and later on you tend to pick up staves constantly so it's not unusual to see @ carrying a dozen Staff of Teleportation causing you to get slowed down.

Newest @ got killed by walking into a room with way, way too many dark elf mages + escorts (probably two spawns of the same mob group). CL25, DL28, 305hp, but ran out of !Spd, i did have a bunch of CCW left, but i had already killed so many mages that i figured there could not be many left, so i phased, and obviously phased into the worst spot.
Note that this was not a pit - just a regular room.
