	[[Maxwell's Portable Piledriver]] pushes yourself and enemies into a straight line until impacting a solid feature, and for every tile moved, the impact damage increases. The repositioning potential is good, and the damage is ok, but due to the spell's many limitations and risky nature, it is not an immediate ~~priortiy~~.

	At first, focus on being able to kill foes reliably, as beginner Translocations won't help you kill enemies. This usually means Warpers should start training melee skills, although [[Ranged Weapons]] and other types of spells are not out of the question. Warpers should be comfortable with foregoing their mage half until they can comfortably fight things; wearing heavy armour can be good. ~~Warpers don't start with particularly good gear in any one offensive category, but are compensated with~~ a ~~really strong escape item~~, ~~a scroll of blinking~~.

	Starting as a Warper is a good choice for players who wish to worship [[Cheibriados]] later, since you'll likely have an alternate means of escape online by the time Cheibriados starts slowing you down. Being a Warper also works well for characters who wanted to use medium or heavy armour, since most of their spells are simple enough that even big dumb bruisers can cast them well if they work at it.

	[[Blink]] remains useful for the entire game. It teleports you to a random location in [[line of sight]], meaning it most likely will create space from your opponent. Its random nature means it isn't a reliable escape, so use it ''before'' things get hairy. One common tactic is to use a [[scroll of fog]], then step back 1-2 spaces - this limits your line of sight so that you are likely to be blinked ~~behind~~ you.
