A scroll of enchant {armor,weapon} will make your {armor,weapon} corrosion
resistant if you read the scroll while confused.  Likewise, a scroll of
destroy armor or damage weapon will turn the item back to being
rustable (yech - what a word!) if read when confused.  Things I'm not
sure of: a scroll of detection (food/gold/objects/monsters) will give
nonsense detection if read while confused, and a scroll of mapping will
give you a partial map if read while confused.  (Does a scroll
of amnesia make you forget only part of the map?)

Neither a Wizard nor any other character can teleport between levels
as a talent.  Wizards can teleport at will when they reach experience
level 6 and other characters at experience level 10, given the proper
conditions (spoiler on request).  The only thing that triggers a
between-level teleport is a scroll of teleportation.  An interesting
adventure is to teleport to a negative level (-1 will do).
