/Conf, /Slow --> Smite-Targeted AOE
I propose that wands of confusion and slow become smite-targeted, fireball-sized effects.
These wands currently duplicate existing low level spells exactly. The timeframe where their usefulness outweighs their opportunity cost is fairly narrow as far as I can tell; early on spellpower is low, later you have better options. The proposed changes extend their usefulness and also give the wands unique features that aren’t duplicated by existing spells, as with most other wands. The smite-targeting gives a counter against summoners and pack leaders; the AOE improves the chances against multiple enemies that the turn spent zapping the wand will result in a useful effect. I think these changes would give these wands more longevity and would increase the variety of options available in the early game.
