Comments - especially with the Thaumaturge...
Resting was really, really, really, really slow. To the point that I was browsing the net whilst waiting for resting to finish. One of the obvious things is that if their are NPCs nearby this seems to slow things down.
Thaumaturgy spells need to be sorted into power order (from lowest to highest...). It would make for simplicity when trying to find the best spell for the occasion.
Never really used mutations except to get armour bonuses and I did not get too many of them.
Other than that copious use of healing and mending potions (especially when I got surrounded/swamped) allowed me to clear each level before I went down.

I have a couple of suggestions
1) Trapper
The trapper is a monster you cannot see.
It does NOT show up when Targetting is turned on.
It will not attack you.
It is an invisible blocking monster.
You can attack it and kill it but it takes a little time
When running for your life from that nasty corpse-eater for instance do not bump into the trapper. You will then be trapped, especially in its favourite haunt... a corridor
If you die next to a Trapper it will eat your dead body! Perhaps a neat animation...
2) The Drop Forge
When you kill a Guardian a Drop Forge is created and you can then make use of it. Here you will find the finest and most exquisitely wrought pieces of equipment... All at a price!
