Hi, Erised:
One could argue this next statement, but IMO, perfection in a Rogue includes high level spells. Depending on your play style of course, high level spells can really speed the process of leveling later in the life of a Rogue.
Looking at your spell levels (slvl), I would suggest that you take this young lady on some shrine runs. Search for Enchanted Shrines to up her spell levels, and while you're at it, you can hit Hidden Shrines to improve dur on her gear, if you care about that.
The Enchanted Shrine, as I'm sure you know, will increase all your spells - but one - by one slvl, but it will also decrease one of your spells by 1 slvl. I tried quickly to find a link for shrine run tips but came up blank, so ... in case you're not familiar with the process ...
Load up on Mana, because you will be teleporting like crazy and casting Chain Lightning. I like to do mine with a fast block shield and a Dreamflange, but any gear will do.
Start a game in Normal Difficulty.
Hotkey your CL and Teleport spells (You've probably already done that.)
Teleport though each dungeon level of Church and Cats searching for Enchanted Shrines. Just keep moving, looking in each room on each level for the shrine(s) you need. Hop into a room, cast CL to kill foes. Look. Leave for the next room. Not even necessary to cast CL that often, if you just keep going.
Once you find the shrine you seek, cast CL to clear the room and use it at your leisure.
A few hours of shrine running can really make a big difference in your slvls over all, if your luck holds.
Just a reminder too that - again argueably - the "ideal" slvls for Chain Lightning and Stone Curse are slvl 8. IIRC, "ideal" is the overall effect of the spell vs. the mana cost to cast it. Plus with CL there's the gapping factor, which seems to grow along with the slvl above 8.
Good luck with this girls and happy hunting. Archers rock!
