Hey, Stardock guys!

Would it be possible to keep the 'old' Mana system intact in some fashion, code wise, so those of us that like the old system have it available for Modding purposes?  I.E., if someone wanted to create a campaign where the spellcasters/heroes maintained their own mana pools (1.09e style), they could implement it using a mod.

IMHO, the new system feels too wargamey to me.  Everyone drawing from the same pool is NOT generally how it's done in most fantasy settings.  Having spellcasters of varying power levels was a nice feature, so if someone wanted to do a Lord Of The Rings mod, etc., this would provide that option for them.

I wouldn't mind a checkbox option in Elemental "Use Global Mana, or Use Caster Mana Pools", but I'm sure I'm in the minority on that one at this point.

The old system, with all the new spells coming down the pike, would absolutely rock!
