	Sarcasm aside, there are a few caveats. As a level 9 spell, Absolute Zero is often impractical to cast in a 3-rune game unless you ~~worship~~ [[Vehumet]] or ~~wear~~ a [[ring of wizardry]]. And unlike the other level 9 spells, Absolute Zero is less effective when used in any situation involving multiple monsters, and many of the most dangerous creatures in the game are made so by coming with allies or being able to [[summon]] reinforcements (or both). You may have to engage in some decidedly odd positioning or continually flee and return to fights in order to ensure that your intended target is the one that dies.
