Oh I see. Thanks for the tip! My character at this point is an unkillable vampire killing 5 TRex not even getting hit once.

Aether residue only needed to make the planar tome?

That's amazing, sounds like you're making some great stories haha

Aether residue is a "waste product" of many magic studying reactions, including the creation of a planar tome. The only use for it is to "reduce" it back into useful aether salts, in both fort and adv mode.

Edit: actually that's not true! In fort mode, there's the alchemy reaction "Contaminants of Stones" with two versions. One of the versions takes aether residue - and this version has a chance to produce a light yellow diamond (the kind needed for the spell workshop... comes a bit late in fort mode, but I'm going to copy this reaction over to adventure mode for the next version too :) )

If so, I kind of actually like that idea personally. Summoning fiends from the netherworld to aid you in your battles should feel like a double-edged sword IMO.

Guess it depends on your playstyle, though.

It's actually pretty terrifying to think about having all of your fat melt off into grease because you started sweating too much.

Sanguis, I think you're trying to master all the different schools of magic haha... don't forget that there are also secrets to learn, and sorcery, in addition to the wizard school!

Demon summoning: you know the reaction is labeled with "EXTREMELY DANGEROUS", right?  :P  Yes, the reaction has [IE_MAKE_PET_IF_POSSIBLE], so if possible they WOULD be made pets, but most of the larger, dangerous demons CAN'T be made pets, only the little guys. So...yeah, it's extremely dangerous, and it's very tough even to grind out for a hexing focus.

Magic aura: that one's a little less clear. Is it a spell essence (fish)? If so it might be the aetherial spell "sense magic auras", and you just need to eat it. "Magic aura" is also the material name for silence burst and aether burst, although i wouldn't think there would be a material leftover from those, but maybe it's a leftover from casting one of those? Unsure, I'm grasping. Got any more info?

I read about this item on spellcraft page. It is a sindrome bomb which explodes in your inventory. About hexing: do I need to actually summon the demons or only do the reaction to get it?

Nice work on the hexing focus! Obviously you should go to a quaint field and use all those essences at once! ;)

Oh, I should add a spell list to the OP. As of v1.1.01:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

These numbers seem wildly different, but I tried to make it so that it would take about the same amount of studies (~100) to get all essences in each school. And the numbers will be rebalanced a bit in the future. (As mentioned, I'm holding the next update until there's something major to fix).

Dementia indoctrination does not  appear  on the ability list. Does this list have a limit on how many abilities can you have? Or is it some other problem?

Seems like it has a limit. Is there a way to fix it?

Now that's something I don't have any idea about. I hope this isn't a vanilla limit - I'm trying to think of any other mod authors who might have introduced so many abilities in the adventure screen...
If it's a vanilla limit that kind of sucks. But i guess then adventurers have to kind of choose how they specialize...
