I had the same problem, magic really is a big must in this game,
especially hell, I am a lev 27 warrior. I can stroll around the top
levels with just my bare nuckels, but as soon as I went to hell, I was
useless. There where these wizzards, and winged women, every time I
approche the women they run away, and every time I approche the wizards
they teleport. I was useless. So I started the dungeon again, collected
every thing and every gold pence in the place, and bought the witch out
of magic elixers, found loads of books. Now when I meet these evil
bast's I can use lightning, flame wave, flame wall, teleport. They don't
stand a chance! I think this would work for you as you sound like i did
a couple of days ago!
