Anyone know if >this works?) No. The only way to (indirect) use a wand of teleportation on yourself is if you have read a scroll of punishment, and zap's the wand on the heavy iron ball. This will cause the ball to teleport away, with you following.

However, I must differ on the utility of the heavy iron ball. Wield it as a weapon; it makes a two handed sword look like a willow wand!
