Casting from scrolls: I believe all of our wands and scrolls cast the spell at the minimum level required to cast the spell. So, a fireball scroll is cast as though a 5th level caster were using it.

Wands and scrolls do not get modified by your level or stats.

Backstab: It was in HoW, but it was removed a long time ago. Backstab is no longer in the engine.

Plans for an expansion: Well, I can definitely tell you that none of us want to work on an expansion. We have zero plans to do one, and actively hope and work to prevent such an event from taking place. We have plenty of other stuff to do that has far higher importance.

Anything's possible, since we don't actually get to decide these things. However, it's very, very unlikely and would be received with a huge amount of negativity.

Clerics instantly casting: You won't cast the spell instantly, you'll still have the normal casting time for the heal spell you're converting to. Spontaneous Conversion just allows a cleric to convert an already memorized spell into a Cure- or Cause type spell.

Party AI on and off: I believe that the 'a' key is the default for turning party AI on and off. Also, you can click the eyes of the "old man" statue in the GUI. If the eyes glow, then Party AI is on.
