ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

so i just had two games that ended upon entering the elven ruins, which prompted me to find this thread. Is elven ruins off limits until the next release, then?

i find precise strikes isn't worth rising above one point.

Once unlocked they are unlocked for all time, unless you remove the hidden folder where your save file is.

hmm, what is the path said save file?

ooh ooh ooh, how? being killed by a necromancer?

i think there are undead races to be unlocked as well.

does that unlock a mage class for later playthroughs, or magic skills for the character being played?

you can be a little more spoily, this is the spoilers section.

may seem like a stupid question, but how are mages unlocked exactly?
