Should I keep PB7? Also, advice welcome.

I've been messing around with the ironman paladin competition, and I'm having fun with it. PB7 just dropped rather early, and I'm debating whether to keep it. The two healing spells are sort of worthless, but restoration sounds absolutely wonderful. Sadly, I won't get it until level 45. Is it worth lugging around the book until then? Inventory slots are precious.

Any other feedback on the character is also welcome. I have very little ironman experience.

I'm also unsure of how to embed dumps in the text of a post, as many people seem to do. Sorry about that!

You'll see many more on your way down. Don't be afraid to dump it if you need the spot for something more currently useful. Restoration is awesome, but it will take forever to get the spell anyway.

I bit the bullet and threw the book away, after casting the first two spells once each for the experience. Current dilemma is whether to hold onto Holhenneth for a long-term confusion swap. I have Dal-i-thalion, but I'd like to wear my +7 speed boots in a tough fight, and swapping in Holhenneth only loses me telepathy. Telepathy is crucial overall, but doesn't contribute to winning a tough battle.

Wear thranduil and use holhenneth as a swap. At your level +7 speed is far more valuable than the benefits of DalIThalion. This is likely to remain true for the entire game, so consider dropping dalithalion if you run into particularly bad inventory problems.
