Is there a way to get this without a potion of levitation?

The Disarming nerf was disappointing, but there's still Flock which is just as effective over a larger area.

I just wish Evan had changed the glyph for Detect Magic because I've gotten bit by that mistake once or twice already.

Oh true, I hadn't thought of telekenetic grab. I only ever think of it as a tool for plucking back thrown weapons.
