Abuse is most likely the biggest problem with new additions... but then again, as it is now, night vision, light and nightfall are completely pointless (as are consecrate, cancellation, cult monster and holy servant, just for different reasons). Also, I don't think DianCecht's glowing has any effect either.

A little more on topic: I don't think items giving common spells would do any good - as was said before, you can learn them easily and wands give them already at certain conditions. Maybe it could be applied to some special abilities, or that you can only gain certain bready with the gloves of the baker, or certain weapons with the bracers of the smith or whatever. Making these rare, but not too powerfull would add diversity. Just a thought. I doubt it'll happen.
