WHAT'S DONE, IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER: Core Magic (basic magic and spellcasting) New Spell Types: Cyclic spells, Battle spells, Ritual spells & Foci Dispellation contests and spell integrity. Spell Stances Dynamic Realm Preps (for example, not every Moon Mage has exactly the same basic prep message anymore) TM Damage Revision Variable Slot Costs and New Slot Progression Skills 3 Integration (Warding, Sorcery, etc.) New wands/rods/rattles/etc. New runestones UI improvements, including Stormfront window support for choosing spells. Lots and Lots of internal, technical stuff. Other stuff I'm probably forgetting. WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON, IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER: Magic Techniques Revision of Magic Shops Experience Awards Targeting and Sorcery Foci Spell Conversions Guild-Specific Issues (primarily Clerics and WMs) Spell conversions are the major stumbling block. As of this writing over 50% of spells have had their initial conversion work done, and 16% are considered fully ready for release. The discrepancy is due to a final pass that only Zeyurn or I can write off on. I expect the difference between the two numbers to steadily close as we run out of other things to worry about. I will be happy to answer questions about M3's progress that do not involve a timeline to completion. Guild-specific questions should be asked in the appropriate guild folder. -Armifer
