There are better uses for polymorph wands.  use them to polymorph unusable
corpses into edible food.  Use them on rings and wands to get the desired
type.  I find that zapping wands until I find a wand of wishing, or more
wands of polymorph, works wonders for exploring the lower levels.  you'll
see what I mean if you try it.
