Lots of areas, myths, areas, races, etc. have classic DND sources. We're our own thing, but you can see the inspiration of, what I consider to be, in depth well created fantasy that we use.

I'm not really interested in arguing back and forth numbering it all, I was just trying to provide some information, so brief response:

Again, to repeat myself on the acid wand, I'll check into it since we can't know otherwise, but I get the same feeling.

I don't know if the goal was to make a perfectly easy convenient mage-ranking location. I think the goal was to provide mages options. Having some difficult aspects to that is fine with me.

Not all the planes are available, often due to constraints on area size, coding, BUT I will say that I'd love to see all of the planes represented as areas at some point. We have Hell (see: Fiendish Codex II: Tyrants of the Nine Hells), and now we've got the Shadow Plane. We even have some extra-planar visitors (azure, conjurer summons, etc.). I'd personally love to see that slowly added to until we've got the whole hodgepodge! Planar Sanctum, on the other hand, only offers what it offers - particularly since I see planes being much larger than the few rooms that it offers as a brief tour.


Either way, maybe I can find a way to get in touch and figure out the intent behind the acid wand. Otherwise, as far as I'm concerned, you can deal with those pesky stoneshattering element-traitor earth elementals .
