trudat! Charm Person & Sleep are da bombzor for Lvl 1 MU types.
Think of several of these spells cast over the course of a few days. A Wizard can have several bodyguards. That charmed Orc can tell you alot about his tribe, guards, traps, treasure and the cave lay-out- along with guarding you.
Especially since you MU probably has a high enough INT for bonus languages!
