Summary0010167: Attaining the max level can make the game unwinnable if one stratospheric citadel is still up
Description*Warning endgame spoiler*

Everytime you reach a level where you can steal a new tier of magic, every windstorm generator on the map is locked until you do so. It also happens when you reach the max level (21 ?).

The only problems is this time, you have to venture in demonaica's keep past a protective field that must be cancelled by purifying the two citadels and then sending the survivors to destroy them. How are you supposed to do that if every windstorm generator is magically locked and thus you cannot purify the tiles necessary to attain the citadel or end the turn in order to gain a new dispatch mission for the survivor ?

In this scenario, with one citadel destroyed and by attaining the max level, the game is locked in a dead end (vicious suggestion : couldn't this similar to death by overexercion in nethack ?).

Thanks!

* Previously, when you hit certain levels it would stop letting you blow up windstorm generators until you went and took some other action.
** For the case of the mage class tiers this was just mildly annoying, and really it was warning the players about this late because they could have gone into the castle a level earlier to get the cache if they wanted.
** For the level 21 situation, it actually could be game-halting. If you got to level 21 without destroying both stratospheric citadels, you'd just be stuck and that was that.
** Now the progression of letting you blow up windstorm generators is never halted no matter what (aside from when the trial expires), but instead the following happens:
*** When you can get the mage class tiers 2, 3, 4, and 5 it starts telling you that every 5 turns (resetting itself when you log out and back in).
*** Same for when you have mage classes of tier 5, but have not yet gotten both citadels.
*** Same for when you've gotten the citadels but not yet the oblivion crystal, and when you've got that but not Demonaica.
