Does that mean that Mystics and
mysticism got put on hold until complete Eastern (Kralori) supplements
will be published?
<<<<<<<<
Maybe. Here is the real reason: the entire HW book is to describe "How
the Game World Works." Then we present 1 out of 4 magic systems that
basically says, "We don't obey the rules." I find that to be too
incongruous to be comfortable. So I have decided that we will present
the
rules without a mystical system. The rule book ought to indicate the
mainstream, core rules upon which Gloranthan reality exists.
Exceptions are, as always, the stories of the world: your games.

If there isn't going to be a
Mystic chapter, how will you describe the Theist cult secrets that for
now are defined as "works like mystic strike(s)"? Without a Mystic
chapter, they'd have to be called something else.
<<<<<<<<
Of course. This definition has stuck in my craw like a bone ever since
it
was published. A good set of rules should not use one system to describe
another, and of course the proper definition will replace this even if
mystics did appear.
Many such clarifications are in this edition.
It is really a finished book this time, not a deadline version published "as is" in order to meet obligations, as the first edition was.
It'll be done right. The schedule is our target date but if we have to delay it to make a first rate product, then we will delay it.
