My first Mage run, I hit upon a wand of Living Earth on level 1 and found it so powerful that I imbued and upgraded it.

So far, the wand’s guardian is strong enough to get rid of enemies while I loot around, and the Rock armor is awesome. Will that last?

I won the game with other classes several times, but have not played Mage yet. Now I am greeting the wandmaker… Any hints for a novice Mage?

    Living Earth is my favourite wand in the game, and the guardian is ridiculously strong with a highly upgraded wand, I don’t think you’ll have any issues

      I found it falls off very hard late game in the demon halls where the guardian just gets wrecked by every enemy and you don’t do enough damage to really heal it or build up your armor

      I did win the game with that wand (vampiric +5 wand of living earth) but I got carried by a wand of corrosion

        Yeah and it’s also useful for burning away the wooden barriers to item rooms you occasionally find

        Trouble is, I’m clumsy so I end up burning grass or scrolls by mistake :(
