1. Custom popups would allow for a variety of spells with double functions. For instance, I could have a spell that either makes a weak fireball or a stronger single target flame ray, depending on what button I push on the popup. 2. The ability to include an interstitial room between character creation and the dungeon's first room would allow for mods to have effects that work for the entire game without having to modify the core rooms.xml to alter the starting room. My zodiac mod , for instance, would love this functionality, as it would allow a character to select a zodiac sign before entering the dungeon. As it stands currently, if I don't modify core files, then the zodiac orrery chamber may never appear, meaning a character may never actually get their birthsign buff.
