If there's one thing I think would improve the new-player experience, it would be UI

Oh, and remove the last two digits from our MP meter. Seriously, there's no reason to have a whopping 10k MP, when all of your spells cost multiples of 100. At level 1, having 10,000 MP seems crazy. Makes far more sense to just have 100 MP, and your spells reduced accordingly. Mechanically, nothing changes whatsoever, but it would make it easier to read I think.

doing that for new players will cause no end to the confusion. you did say "new players"

a new player using aero for instance, that costs 200 MP will be confused as to why they can cast it with only 100 MP on the bar.

honestly, as a player I didnt start looking into customizing the UI until around 60 or 70. at which point the player knows what they want and what they want it set up like. with the current default, you get eased into changing things as you go, more bars added, resizing, things like that. I think its fine as is for new people
