 For raw damage output, {{s|PISORF}} is roughly equivalent to {{s|BURNDAYRAZ}} for mana efficiency when damaging a single target. A Guard with no religion or items will enjoy .75 damage per level per mana from {{s|PISORF}} when hitting an enemy into a wall, compared to .67 damage per level per mana for {{s|BURNDAYRAZ}}. This efficiency score improves to 1.25 when you connect two worthwhile enemies, but is effectively .625 when you knock enemies together with only one intended target.  In any case, fine-tuning the mana spent is likely to be the overriding concern when you budget 8 mana or less for direct damage to a single enemy.  When colliding two enemies, regeneration works against you double as well, all but erasing the benefits of {{s|PISORF}} in regen fighting and making it more suitable for spiking damage off of potions and the like.

 Due to its low mana cost, {{s|PISORF}} is useful in some cases even if you are specializing in other things, and it's worth thinking twice before converting the glyph. If it can kill an enemy in one hit, it will save 2 mana over {{s|BURNDAYRAZ}}.  Similarly, if you need that much damage to bring an enemy within first-strike killing range, 2 mana is saved over {{s|BURNDAYRAZ}}.  Generally, two {{s|PISORF}}s cost 8 mana, usually doing more damage than one {{s|BURNDAYRAZ}}.  On the flip side, a single {{s|BURNDAYRAZ}} usually deals more damage than a single {{s|PISORF}}, at a cost of 2 additional mana.  Fine-tuning your damage output can make a big difference for your mana budget, making two tools better than one.
-There are a few good reasons to use {{s|BURNDAYRAZ}} over {{s|PISORF}} in some situations.  The most obvious is that you can knock enemies into empty, black, or indestructible spaces, dealing no damage and/or making you explore when you'd rather not.  Another reason is that burn stacks from {{s|BURNDAYRAZ}} will reduce monster healing, aiding most regen-fighting strategies and synergizing with {{i|Whurrgarbl}} and/or {{i|Venom Dagger}}.  Additionally, early {{g|Dracul}} worshipers may find that {{boon|Blood Curse}} favors {{s|BURNDAYRAZ}} use, since that spell scales with levels, while {{g|Glowing Guardian}}'s Humility boon will skew things in favor of {{s|PISORF}}.  Finally, items like {{i|Battlemage Ring}}, {{i|Piercing Wand}}, and {{i|Witchalok Pendant}} directly enhance {{s|BURNDAYRAZ}}, while it is more difficult to itemize for {{s|PISORF}}.

 A {{i|Fine Sword}} can make a difference for {{s|PISORF}} users at L1, but otherwise not much is to be done other than increase your mana, which equally synergizes with fireballs.  Most notably, perhaps, is {{i|Crystal Ball}}, which is most efficiently fueled by the {{s|PISORF}} spell among all spammable spells (only {{s|GETINDARE}} costs exactly the minimum of 3 mana).  Hybrid characters will, to a lesser extent, enjoy {{i|Fire Heart}} for similar reasons.  {{i|Rock Heart}} also gets an honorable mention, managing to shine as a piety-farming device for {{g|Binlor Ironshield}} or {{g|Mystera Annur}}.

-The damage prediction takes into account the tile behind the target, even if you have not explored it.  Hovering over a monster with PISORF can thus sometimes give useful information about that tile.  Careful arithmetic even allows you to distinguish between an unseen enemy and an unseen wall.
