Just zero wands
Iceblast - buff exploding tomahawks
Digging - make exploding tomahawks dig tiles adjacent to the center of the blast
Disintegration - cool and elegant, so much so that it should be a spammable rod
Enslavement - frenzy needles exist and are more awesome in every way
Confusion - confusion needles exist
Slowing - curare needles exist
Heal wounds, tele, and hasting copy existing consumables.
That leaves Acid, Lightning, Flame, Polymorph, and Random Effects. That's not enough to warrant the existence of wands as a broad category of items, and some people don't like these effects anyway. Maybe keep one, and it will be a wand - the only wand. Probably Polymorph, if the effect is made less problematic, or perhaps Acid.
Wands are friggin lame-o. Who feels awesome flicking a wand around? Let's regard wands as an unfortunate legacy of the follow-the-leader development that birthed Crawl.
Pakellas may need to drop more rods again, if he still feels like sticking around.
Evo nerf!
