I just got 91.5 (last install was .89.2?)

I defined the random effects upon failed spell and limit cone range.
I agree that magicians are too powerful.

I also defined random encounter... and resurrect.

It seems like a good compromise.

in .89 you just go to the prison, where things are nice and
corraled.... you get the wand of medium fireball from the
beginners... and inthe prison you zap the beholders... boom, instant
level 5... and then you can cast medium fireballs all day.
