Thanks for the response. If I was a bit impatient, it's just because it's a short game, and that one unfinished mission was taunting me; also I hadn't seen any communication here about that sort of thing. This is probably the only game I've bought on GoG on release (because it just plain looked that fun).
Will the coming update include a fix for the "phantom material" bug with the spells? I saw mention of this on Steam and figure that's what's causing the bugs and crashes I'm now getting on both character save slots I've used so far. In brief, what I'm seeing is effects in the spells' descriptions that I haven't selected, and spells changing effects as soon as I edit them and re-open the editing window. I will then get a crash most often when clicking on the "randomize" button on the right side of the window, and far less often, when clicking on an individual material slot. I've tried emptying all material slots, clicking "finish", then re-opening the editing window, and that does not solve the issue.
Also, I notice now when deleting an old spell, then re-checking the list of saved ones, it appears the one I tried to delete is still on the list, and a different saved spell slot is getting deleted.
This may very well be the wrong place to post such things, but I haven't used the forums here much, and a Tasty Stewdios forum I found appeared to be dead.
