"Elements of Magic" and other systems

You can temporarily create undead easily (indeed, I was always fond of villains defiling the corpses of the recently dead by raising them mid-fight to help him out). For permanent undead, or pretty much permanent anything, you have to use Creation Feats. Right now we're considering having only four: Craft Charged Item, Craft Magic Arms & Armor, Craft Permanent Spell, and Craft Wondrous Item. Permanent undead would fall under 'permanent spell.'

Are the creation feat going to be included in the updated EoM or in the second Book to be published later?

In the updated EoM. We're going to have it as complete rules for casting spells. The second book will have the really neat stuff, like how to play a voodoo priest or a tattoo mage. The free update will be the dry rules, whilst the second book will have the fun rules to adapt magic to exactly what you want it to be. Or at least a lot closer than you can with most rules sets.
 

Actually, I'm not sure if the item creation rules will be in the revisions or the sequel. The streamlining is well-intentioned, but we're certain to run into snags as we try to make sure you can create your +5 Giant Warchicken of Great Weaving.

We're talking sideways here. The *feats*, I believe, will be in the revision. The item creation rules will be in the sequel, because the revision is going to be long enough as it is. :)

BTW, I now own the 3.5 books, so the revision is going to really pick up pace now. I actually have the 3.5 rules finally! As I understand it, someone lost ENPublishing's copy of the SRD... :p
 

Is it too early to tell when the release probably will be? "You have to wait at least ... weeks" would be sufficient. :)

Because in 3.5 is some epic support: Will be there an official Epic Mage?

I don't know yet, because we have to go through every spell. There are a lot of spells. Then we have to get the PDF put together. We'll give more updates when the scale of changes in the spells becomes clearer.

If the epic rules are in the SRD, yes. It will not be difficult to make the mage compatible with the DMG epic rules.

Element of Dimension

I am playing a mage and use the teleport spell list. I notice dimension will replace this list. Just a suggestion for the name, but you could call it space instead of dimension.
 

Holy crap but this sounds cool! Elements of Magic and its sequel just went to the top of my "must buy" list.

This is just the sort of magic system that I would have built myself, if I had the time, patience and talent to do it. Based on what I've read here, it sounds like the perfect replacement for the standard D&D magic system, which has always annoyed me a tad.
 

Are there any electronic tools that can build/handle an EoM rules character?

Has there been much discussion on what happens to Wisdom as an attribute, without clerics does it become a 2nd class score?

We don't play often enough for me to 'rebuild' the world around EoM mage, however this is way cool; and how I would have done it. Any advice on how to 'mix' magic in a campaign (traditional 3 or 3.5 characters and EoM mage)?
