>My other tip is to place the knowledge enhancive on an item you will not be wearing or holding all the time.
I don't have such an item, but this is the way a self-mana item should be used. The advantage of knowledge is spell burst areas, in which case you need to be wearing it. Self-knowledge also allows imbedding, but that's supposed to drain things even faster. Self-mana does use twice as much mana, but still I'd think with knowledge a major advantage is spell burst. Just my two cents: if you don't plan to wear it, and don't specifically want the paladin spells being offered, get self-mana and not self-knowledge.
