PyWeek - Slept on it

The challenge started at 1am for me, so I stayed up until the theme was announced, then promptly slept on it, wondering how it could work with some of the ideas I'd had.

So, here goes.

"A powerful wizard was attempting a disappearing act when he was kidnapped by his arch enemy and imprisoned in a magic world. His nemesis took his wand from him and hurled it deep into the magical world, condemned to spin for all eternity. Luckily, the magican somehow managed to maintain a telepathic link with the wand and is trying to guide it back to him so that he can escape and finish his disappearing act. Unfortunately, the wand just won't stop spinning."
