I mean to make buttons flash on and off. At the beginning, there would be a
message (only if the command panel is visible) "You can also use the command
panel for some commands. When that is the case, the button will blink. For
example, you can read past message by clicking on the blinking button". And
the view log button has its background change between normal and blue every
second until you take a step.

I don't think so. Monsters will be tougher, so they won't go down faster.

I mean it's obvious that there are several walls of different type. I don't
think players will have trouble figuring out which ones they have to zap
their wands at.

There isn't any other. I checked mon-data.h, all the other monsters with
natural rF+ are too tough for the tutorial. Some orcs with rF+ armour should
do it.

As David, I like the little puzzle. Another alternative would be to allow
wax melting with flame. The whole wax melting is in dire need of more
consistency (see #2470 <https://crawl.develz.org/mantis/view.php?id=2470>).
Allowing all fire effects to melt wax would be good I guess.
