That's the rub with the 4th level - you can't climb back up to the 3rd. 
You have to do the climb back up/down between 1st/2nd or 2nd/3rd. 
Getting to the 4th level requires killing the wizard's image, not 
something terribly reversible.

Oh, I always did the A L thing. I found it somewhat easier when in a 
hurry because it alternated hands for each of the four characters and 
allowed me to get the commands in faster without my fingers getting in 
the way. (I found the keys too small/close together for my fingers.)
