Have I fucked myself over here?

I beat the game for the first time, yesterday. I had an extremely lucky run, I was lucky with perk lottery a few times and ended up immune to melee, explosions, fire, I had a shield, projectile repulsion, and a number of perks that really helped. I ended up getting 10 orbs, which I know gives the final boss more health.

I was just wondering, I know the Orbs are part of NG+, but have I fucked myself over? I've had 3 runs now, and I've found about 4 new wands through all of them. The mines/coal pits have barely had anything useful in them, and I was just wondering if they start giving you less stuff as a result of that. I'm trying to avoid the wiki to avoid spoiling too much for myself

Basically, I feel like I lucked into a win and now I'm not sure I'll ever be able to win again if the game's actively gotten harder

No it doesn't get harder to get things over time.

Ah ok, I've probably just had a bad run of seeds then I imagine. I was averaging at least 4 wands in the mines, and then I ended up with less than that across the last few runs. I'm probably just too paranoid

No, the game doesn't change difficulty in any way in-between runs.

The only things that you can do that will effect the difficulty of future runs is unlocking new spells and killing a specific boss.

Specifically unlocking the >!nuke and giga nuke!< Can make the game harder and the first time, and only the first time you kill >!the pyramid boss, he drops a full heal.!<

Edit: also when you for the game might record one of your wands and then it can show up in the hands of a ghost in a later run
