Noted. I'll re-check this before v7 is out.
Happy new year to all!
Some minor cosmetic things:
- Wizard's Energy Blades is using Black Blade of Disaster icon. Was it always like this?
- A formatting error in the Archmages dialogue (OldOne). See screenshot.

I don't see any difference in the jewel casket quest except that you get an extra fight. You either way arrive at the same outcome.
Ok, thanks. Decided for the fight, because it offers more coins as reward.QUOTE
Judging by the files they should be both discoverable at the same stage independently

Yes, there's a problematic symbol, will be fixed in v7.QUOTE

Probably, yes. I'll check and fix it as well. Don't know what's this motivation behind this one.

Ok, the icons are not exactly the same:

Another one:
I can load lvl9 spells in my Chain Contingency. Most probably it is not related to IA6.52, but to one of my UI mods:
- DRAGONSPEAR_UI++
- Bubb's Spell Menu Extended
Well, the max spell level available for contingency is determined by the #234 effect opcode. It is set to 8 by IA. Does the UI mod change this? It shouldn't be possible to put 9th level spells into it otherwise.
SPWI908.SPL looks ok:

My bet is EEEx being the culprit. It changes hardcoded stuff like TOBEx was doing for the Non-EE game.
Probably, yes. I've never tried it personally since I'm on mac.

Just to let you know. Bubb in Beamdog's forum found out why i can load lvl 9 spells in a Chain Contingency:
"I just tested it - the culprit is Dragonspear UI++. Open UI.MENU and replace all instances of:
maxMagePage >= 8
with
maxMagePage > 8"

Good to know the issue is resolved. I have zero experience with UI mods to be able to diagnose something like that.
Would it be possible to change the Twisted Rune fight in Hard Mode, so that the Greater Twisted Golem and the Twisted Golem spawn a bit earlier? Not necessarily increasing the frequency, but let them spawn when Layene goes invisible directly at the beginning of the fight.
Probably, yes, unless there are certain specific conditions for their appearance that are not related to time exclusively (which is the case, IIRC)
Yes, it looks more complicated

I have a feeling that you've only scratched the tip of that particular iceberg.
SPOILER!
SPOILER!
I haven't checked personally yet, but I remember some of the mechanics being connected to player using stoneskin as a trigger to summon more golems. Feel free to use it if you're not having enough problems with that particular fight :-)
I was just thinking that Layene is going down too quickly, almost immediately after her wish, and almost all the complex scripting and the spawns attached to her are wasted.
Maybe another option would be to force always Time Stop as her Wish result for Hard Mode.

I'll make a note to check this out, but no hard promises.
I can’t say I’ve ever fought the battle with the golems.
One note on hardmode tweak - it’s currently only setup for Ch1-3 encounters, so there may be other encounters from Spellhold on that could be “buffed.” Generally adding additional existing summons/mobs to existing encounters is easy, changes to AI is hard. Great to get some new suggestions!

A little bug again related to IATweaks: Remove traps & locks (i guess):
It is possible to force open the door to the Sealed House in Suldanessar without having the Mirror of the Lakesider.
