"Mac" is not an acronym. Why do you insist on capitalising every letter?

Jeff is a self-taught programmer, which is a nice way of saying he's not very good at it. Sometimes things that work OK on his computer act a little funny on other people's.

Isn't that, if carried to its logical conclusion, an argument for exterminating all life on Earth?

What you'd want in that case would be an undelete utility, not a backup utility. :P

The second person is his wife, who does some design work from time to time.

The third person is his secretary, who is responsible for processing orders and other administrative duties.

Well, I'd have assumed so. I mean, if your HD blows up, having a backup of every file on the same disk won't do much good. :P

Rhian, an NPC who can join your party in Vanarium, starts with 4 levels of Craft Circle; you can also get 4 levels of Craft Circle for helping the witches in Hagfen. If you put those 4 levels onto Rhian, she'll have a total of 8, which is enough to cast every Craft Circle spell.

Thuryl, you mean that people care more about society at large than they care for their own children? I suppose society has the advantage of greater numbers.
And, more importantly, the ability to ostracise you if you don't play by their rules. Children, being dependent on their parents for survival, aren't in such a strong bargaining position on their own.

Okay. You have to use the editor to create a special rectangle somewhere you can reach. Set the special rectangle to call a state (let's say state 99, assuming state 99 doesn't already exist in that town).

Then, use a text editor to edit the town script of that town and create state 99. Then, add a move_to_new_town call to transport you to a convenient location in the starting town (town 1). The relevant section of the town script should look something like this:

beginstate 99;
move_to_new_town(1,14,32);
break;
Then, load a saved game and step into the area of the rectangle you've created, and you'll instantaneously be sent back into the middle of Selathni!

The whole point of the essence system is that it limits the number of creations you can have at once. Allowing essence pods to restore essence that's tied up in creations would defeat the purpose of that limit.

The simplest way to get back to the starting town to retrieve your items would probably be to edit ASR's scripts. Just put a move_to_new_town call that moves you back to the starting town in a town that's still accessible to you.
