This spellbook enables you to cast wizard lock, which enables you to close and lock doors. In addition, this spell can create (locked) doors in empty doorways. You can also repair rooms digging monsters broke in, e. g. for a safe area. Occasionally, it can be useful in an emergency to buy time when fleeing from monsters immune to Elbereth; but its uses are quite narrow, and it is often thrown away or rewritten.
If you later plan to cast polymorph, it can be worth memorizing wizard lock and casting it for no effect in order to train matter spells; this is one of the simplest ways to improve polymorph's success rate.
