The following is a transcription from Professor Brown's audio recording of his interview with SMASH, an orc from the tribe of SMASH, describing his rites of initiation into the cult of SMASH, the orcish god of SMASH.
When I arrived at the altar of SMASH, god of SMASH, I was carrying the traditional SMASHER, special made by the tribal blacksmith, as well as the SMASH-sword that I got by SMASHING the sacred SMASH-goat, along with lots of SMASH juice to go along with the SMASH-sword.
After paying my respects to SMASH, he rewarded me with a rune of SMASH. I used it to SMASH my way to the secret room of SMASHING, where as my visions foretold, I found another SMASHER to go with my SMASHER. SMASH, god of SMASH, was pleased with my SMASHING and awarded me yet again with the sacred gift of SMASHING. I celebrated the event by drinking much SMASH-juice and then SMASHING with my SMASHER as well as my other SMASHER and also with the gift of SMASHING from SMASH, god of SMASH.
SMASH was pleased with my SMASHING, but warned me that I must remain diligent in my SMASHING or risk his displeasure. Always I must SMASH and SMASH and more SMASHING SMASH SMASH SMASH SMASH SMASH

So anyways, this is what you do:
Orc
Tinker
Transmutation Seal
Trisword
Extra Gold
Binlor
Less glyphs
Bearmace
Apothecary
Five easily disposable potions, one of which should be a Strength potion
Scum until you get the blacksmith secret dungeon. You have a 25% of finding it, which is tolerable. Use your compression seals to make room. Get the Stone Fist boon right away. Between that and the two bearmaces, you will have 170% knockback, which is nuts. Now amp your base damage.
Buy the most expensive things that you can find and Transmute them. Combined with the less glyphs prep, this will give you insane conversion. You should consider burning one of your seals on the sword that you find in the dungeon, since 25% is a decent conversion bonus and the free 25 gold will go a long way towards buying something nicer later. Swig potions whenever you can to fuel the trisword. Between the Tinker bonus, extra gold, and the 3 transmutation scrolls, you should have plenty of gold to keep it going.
Smash monsters into each other. Smash them into walls. Use PISORF to slide monsters across the field to setup smash combos. Indirectly attack high end monsters by smashing other monsters into them. Smash everything. Smash the world.
It's really only a novelty trick suitable for Normal and maybe some Hard dungeons, but everyone should do this at least once.
