Wishing suggestions for an extinctionist wizard

Chaotic human wizard, gone as deep as the vally of death and currently
camping on an altar on DL:21.

This is the first character that im attempting extinctionism with, and
im finding myself wondering what I want to wish for. RNG has blessed me
with a 0.3 /oW in the valley of death to go with my 0.3 /oW from the
castle, and I havnt used either yet. So thats a total of 14 wishes I
have availiable to me. 2 I'll be using for speed boots and gauntlets of
dexterity since I havnt found either and I'll be leaving one of them at
1.1 mimimum for security. So that leaves 10 wishes I can use for
anything.

Magic markers dosnt seem like a useful choice since I got 3 already and
will likely get more from polypiling. I wont be genociding any monster
that can be made extinct so any scrolls of genocide I need for the
non-extinctable monsters wont be hard to come by.

The only spellbook I really need now is polymorph, which I can do
without just find for now. With very few spells still missing from my
catalogue I should be getting it soon from my prayer camping.

A pet Archon might be a possibility, but other then that I cant think
of anything else.

Also im wondering, is magicbane pretty much the only good weapon I can
use as a chaotic wizard? Due to restrictions in alot of weapons all
other artifacts seem useless.

How about a nice big stack of silver daggers? you want at least 10, I
reckon. They're very handy, and a bugger to acquire through polypiling.
My last game I shuddered something in the region of a thousand arrows
(in stacks of 5 or less) to yield only about 4 silver daggers.

Otherwise, start wishing up other ppls' quest artifacts: something with
spare MR would be nice, or one of the 'half physical damage' ones.

And 3 magic markers ain't that much: You can always use more- I mean,
when you've got 30 or 40 silver dragon hides kicking about, the chances
of getting at least one of them past +5 are pretty good, but it takes a
*lot* of scrolls. Same with daggers- I mean +7 is nice and all, but why
settle when you can try to push some of the spares to +8 or +9 or even
further? Then there's all the reverse genocide scrolls you'll be
wanting - there's probably 3 markers' worth there alone.

Of course, in a way the whole thread is redundant. An extinctionist
doesn't *need* to wish for anything. He just has to be patient. Sooner
or later, whatever it is you want will drop at your feet in a gory pool
of monster innards.
