EXPLORE (GAMEPLAY) - did not find the right lever to open black cove skeleton head (did the teleport thing to get past (I hit 14! levers - and did not find others) no description of them anymore (no death char - all had more than 250 hp!! no boost)
Did you find the invisible ( literally invisible one ) on the leftmost corner of the Skull room ? You have to "spot it" by walking next to it first. Otherwise, there are a couple standing in bushes around the room. Definitely enough levers around to get the Skull door opened.

- the phoenix-dive is still a fire spell but u need way of warrior to do it and it does fire-damage?!? - crossbows are not so effective as bows with way of ranger 4 (-1AP for ranged weapons)
I don't really see a problem with warrior / ranger skills doing elemental damage. In fact it's better, as so, Elemental damages aren't reserved to mages only. Since D:OS is more or less balanced around triggering various elemental effects, it would be sad only casters are able to use them.
As for crossbows, I'm not sure what you mean. Those things are leagues ahead of bows. Sure you need a lot of AP to shoot them more than once in a turn, so maybe you would need a specific build for that, but they still inflict so much more pain and agony compared to bows. They clearly aren't balanced well as the damage range is far too high considering the requirements. Even during Alpha when you couldn't get as much AP per turn and the arrow spray wasn't a level 1 spell it was often better to get a crossbow. I agree it was a tad better balancer then, though.
By the way, nice feedback !
levers: ah sorry because I could not walk behind the farn I didn't scroll far enough that way to see this lever - makes 15 levers to explore
bows - crossbows
I have a raistlin ranger-mage char with lots of AP (max 18, 8 to start, , 14 each turn) so a bow takes 4 AP and crossbow 6 AP to shoot with way of Ranger 4 it's 3 to 5
so with 18 AP I could shoot 6x bow and 3x crossbow bow is 58 to 116 HP (that was my best bow with dex 6!!!) crossbow is 128 - 168 HP (dex10) so this would be 348 - 696 HP with bow 384 - 504 HP with crossbow that's 40% max HP more and only 10% min HP lower than crossbow and you can target 6 enemys not only 3
for using barrage- and arrow spray-spell crossbow is like rocketstorm because each enemy is hit mainly 3 to 4 times BUT there are no enemys so far which live after being hit with the bow for 2 - 3times!
so this makes the crossbow way to overpowered with spells but not in single use compared to bow
AND with bows you don't need as much Points in Dexterity 6 against 10 and more that's my point because I did a ranger - mage mix which also needs int to boost
BTW: the int-based armor is much more likely to have boosts than the dex-based armor, too
