According to the rules, no creature native to the Upper World can enter or be
summoned to the Lowerworld.  An Alal could not go there.  Interesting idea
about the enscorcelled spell being released when the item is broken.  In the
campaign I was most recently in, it required educationally learning a specific
rite to create wands or staves (in addition to anything else not specifically
covered in the description on the Permanent Magic spell(s).  We also had a
house rule that said the radius of a "defensively" cast Destruction was set at
a constant 6 inches (that's half of a foot) to prevent people from doing things
like that.
