New wand for Hack

How about this for a new type of wand:

Wand of Levitation.

This would levitate anything that you zap it at.  It would allow you to
move UNDER monsters.  I have not read through the code, so I don't know
how practical this may be to implement.  Any ideas?

OK, here are some ideas of what I'd like to see in new
versions of rogue/hack.

(1). Unlimited increase in monster powers as you go down
     levels (in versions I have played after a certain level
     nothing new happens and it is too easy to be a total
     winner).

(2). Multiplayer rogue where several players can be playing
     the same game and fight each other, trade with each other,
     etc.

(3). Multipower custom designed wands, i.e. a wand can have
     several powers at once (cold/confusion/cancellation say),
     which powers can be picked by the player.

(4). Charged weapons, i.e. a two-handed sword that causes
     confusion when it hits as well as damage.

(5). Random order of new spells for magicians, or allowing
     a choice between several new spells (same goes for
     prayers).

More later, perhaps ...

More importantly, a ring of levitation should let you walk ABOVE the
monsters without fighting them. This might not work for large monsters
(dragons), but should work for small (humanoid?) monsters.
