Since I won a few times on my own and had a third day of 7DRL streaming lined up, decided to at least share Battlemage with folks in between other games, so you can check that out here if interested, from 00:50:20:

Wow this game is awesome. Beat it on my second try (first try I had no idea what to do with the items or how any mechanics worked so I just stuck the starting crystal in the corner and obviously died pretty fast xD). Definitely want to play some more since I passed up a lot of interesting-looking things that I didn't want to fool around with because by about half way through it was clear I had an invincible winning build. Attached it below, basically immune to damage and never got attacked except at the beginning before web was online. (Also spent a while debating what to take after the final battle, and ended up taking nothing yet again, only to find that I had already won! Probably don't need that hehe.)
