Mirror Technique
Still working out some good techniques ... This is the best I have so far. Super Ray hits for about 183 HP in my case. But, if a Super Ray hits a mirror, then it destroys the mirror and launches 8 new Super Rays, one in each direction. Alas, I was hoping that if each of these hit a mirror, the you would get 8 more, etc. etc. I guess that would be too powerful. But still, there is no reason why I can't double up each attack. 366HP is not bad damage output for my level, so I simply need to lay down some mirrors before waking up something big and nasty :-) Oh, and I already tried luring a monster on to a mirror, hoping for the 9x Super Ray, but the new rays start one square off the mirror. Again, probably would have been too powerful ...

So if you fired them off at the end of a hallway, they wouldn't all head down the hallway, like a staff of starfire?

I wish ... nope, it seems as though the "double shot" is the best I've figured out so far. The direction of firing is not random, the way a Staff of Starlight is, so it will fire in each of the 8 possible directions even if there is just a wall in the way.

But you can do some nifty line of sight tricks. Place a mirror at an intersection and back out of the LoS of an approaching pack of hounds. When the hounds enter the "LoS" of your mirror, than shoot a Super Ray and Whammo! No risk whatsoever :-)
