Dorotea, just as a minor suggestion - If you take in Jon for an NPC, there should be something that you can teach him, and something that he teaches you. Depending on your alignment/race/class of the CHARNAME, he can teach you ways to use some of his spells/ teach you spells that he only knows. Being a former powerful mage in the FR setting, Irenicus has invented dozens of spells (as all powerful mages such as Otiluke, Mordenkainen, Khelben, Elminster, Halaster, etc.). What do you think? Something similar to this actually used in Planescape: Torment.
A very, very minor suggestion

Hypothetical scenario:
Irenicus teaches you 'Rupture of the Father' spell. You enter the The Throne of Blood. Game is done in what - 15 sec?
Sorry could not resist.
Honestly - I 'shall' browse that AD&D Wizard Spells Compendium and pick a few interesting spells... the thing is - without additional aminations/spell efects who is going to make them?
Freedom cannot be equated with goodness, virtue, or perfection. Freedom has its own unique self-contained nature; freedom is freedom ? not universal goodness. Any confusion or deliberate equalization of freedom with goodness and excellence is in itself negation of freedom, and acceptance of the path of restraint and enforcement.

BTW - I forgot to mention that LR will come with 'enforced' xp cap remover. As Jonny will be his magnifecent level 30 self 
with all spell slots maxed in all levels, and you would not want to waste xp point on him if he cannot progress with your party.
(A friend of mine who tests LR pre-beta with her 45 level cleric says he is a whimp anyway)

I have 400 or so spell animations in my reportorie. Andsomeone is about to make an animation or two. Of course, Rapture of the Father is something that Irenicus will never know.

Another suggestion I wish to make is that you can avoid nearly every single battle if you have enough wisdom, charisma, intelligence. You could get certain XP for that. Only the loot will you not get.
