Why no magic?

I haven't beat this game yet, I haven't even got very far, but one thing I noticed: no magic classes, no magic weildig monsters that I'v faced, nothing. and also no gods. mind bringing this in?

TB made a blog post a while back on arcane magic and religion: http://www.ancientdomainsofmystery.com/2012/06/pondering-magic-systems-for-adom-ii-04x.html

In his interview for Roguelike Radio, TB said we can expect to have ADOM II 0.4.0, the release where he plans to add magic, by the end of this year (see also this roadmap (http://www.ancientdomainsofmystery.com/2011/09/current-release-plan-for-jade.html)).

Ah. I must have missed those. So the mundane atheism is only temporary?

[adom-admin]

Absolutely. ADOM II still is in early development and there will be detailed religions, various magic systems and many other details. Stay tuned!

one last question. This will bring in the Paladin class again? or is that not till both religion and magic are in place?
