* As for elements/locations absent in Elona, they may be omitted there because they are not important to Elona.
* Main story also features "Magic Stones" (artificial, from buried Ether groves). To avoid confusion, terminology will be changed later, since Home series magic stones are different.
* Backer Wish content was previously prioritized as wished, with little adjustment. However, for highly discussed content (e.g., "Shatter Hex"), adjustments will be made going forward. These will generally be improvements/strengthening only, but if the original wisher disagrees with changes, please feel free to reach out.
