Usurper Board

i'm currently playing an elf magician. what is the best master to take? i have master #7 right now, but i'm only getting 1 hit point per level from them now. looking for a master that gives more hit points.

how do you get rid of cursed items? been finding heavy clubs and green spades and the weapon dealer won't buy them and i can't drop them on the ground. can't find any way to get rid of them or get them so their uncursed. thanks
