I would link you to the messages on the vaultnetwork forums, but it seems vaultnetwork is down right now, all their forums. So here is a really brief desctiption, i will post links for more info once they're back up...

Wizardry 8: Braving the Elements

formerly known as Sradacs' Wiz8 Magic Overhaul(for about a week heh)

New areas, namely the 4 elemental planes of earth, air, fire, and water. a fifth, final plane that is a total secret but trust me, you will want to find it.

Totally redone magic in the game, all old spells are revamped/balanced and lots of new spells

New Side story that you wont HAVE to do (as of right now) but its pretty recommended...why play the mod if you dont want to head into the elemental planes and brave the elements?

New content to old areas, some more than others.

new rpcs

plenty of new gear

new monsters

Challenging boss fights at the end of each elemental plane, and you will get a key item from each boss that you will need to get into the fifth plane

non-linear advancement in side story. Want to tackle the Plane of Fire first and face up against the Avatar of Fire? Go ahead. Or you'd rather plunge deep into the Plane of Earth and see what true strength is all about? You can do that to.

Plenty of new crafted items, there might be a LOT of crafted items depending on how many items the cosmic forge limits me to.

I just started work on this a last week, right now I have 1 new RPC close to finished, 5 new spells, almost every old spell redone, 2 new caster focus items, 1 crafted item, 2 new monsters and all old elementals have been totally redone...fear them. And if you manage to summon a Water Elemental Lord to your side? Well you got some easy times ahead of you. Started adding new content to the lower monastery, and the Plane of Fire is almost ready to start being built.

Lets see that covers the basics pretty much...Oh yeah, since this was originally a magic overhaul that included making enemy spellcasters smarter and alot more dangerous, expect that as well.
