The Bard's Tale IV Design Notes

It's a big day for The Bard's Tale-related news, I guess. Back when Interplay was still tossing around a few ideas for what they'd like to see in The Bard's Tale IV, one of the designers had the right idea to write them down, in pencil even. And that document of notes is now available for public consumption, courtesy of Brian Fargo's Twitter feed. A resounding "Yes" to a few of these:
Some what to know what each item does - better than Sage - give exact stats.

...

Needs an intermediate spell between MIBL (Mangar's Mind Blade) and MAMA (Mangar's Mallet).

...

Get rid of large dark areas with anti-magic zones and/or spinner traps, unless a great reward waits on the other side!!
It amazes me that I still remember which spells those codes were for. Oh, and he also mentions that a Wasteland website is coming soon.
