Query: would it've been more productive to quit Diablo each game, rather than just make a new game? I know that the randomness increases with each dlvl entered, but I take that in the context of -within the same game.
It would have been more productive, yes. You were trying to get a chunk of memory that Diablo uses as close to it's initial state (all 0s) as possible, and that state is created when you start up the program, not when you start a new game.
But, the cheesiness of the above process aside, if you are having problems controlling clvl 11 CL on level 13-15, to me that sounds more like a tactical problem than having too much of the spell. CL gapping should really only be a problem for characters who are telespamming it, doing experience runs in the church, cats, or caves. It never bothered me to have level 19 CL.
