A17 offers so many features that would ridiculously benefit this mod, it almost caused us to not bother...
...instead, we decided to split the mods into books (parts), where the a16 version (book 1, blight) introduces the player to a world where magic is new, and not readily useable.
Book 2 will be a bit into the future, on a17, and will have player useable magic, and it will take advantage of the features a17 will bring.
The good news is that a lot of the work has already been done, and simply not used in book 1 because it doesn't fit thematically (elves, dwarves, spells).
