: €It might be nice to post a map of the Cythera world to the web site, if that wouldn't give away too muchŠ

Since the first thing you find in your quarters is a map, it wouldn't give too much away...

Full screen QT tend to be too large to be useful.

Skill based, with a degree of difficulty tied to an underlying magical proficiency skill.
: €Just how powerful can the spells you cast be? Wish anyone? ;)
No wish.

Fairly rare, though potions are common.

Mages form the basis for the judical/government system, so common.

Uniform currency system.

Maybe...
