Elves Have All Standard Lores (Beta)
December 2020 update:
Allright, seems to be working.
The bad news is the new lore Spellsingers will probably all have the exact same portrait.
Note: If you’re also interested in the missing Empire battle wizards I suggest looking at this mod by Mixu:

This mod gives High, Dark, and Wood Elves access to all eight standard lores of magic; Fire, Metal, Life, Light, Death, Heavens, Beasts, and Shadow, per 8th edition tabletop rules. High and Dark Elves also still have High and Dark magic, respectively.
The UI for the recruit screen, alas, is not quite able to handle this and the bottom two lores run over and into the province select button–see the attached screenshot. You can still select them by clicking very close to the top of their icon, so although ugly they should still function.
This mod is marked Beta for three reasons:
1: There is still some placeholder text for the new casters.
2: It’s possible there are some glitches that have snuck in–all the new heroes seem to work from testing, but odd things can happen since this mod adds twelve new heroes. Please report any issues with the newly added heroes in the comments section, and do not use this mod if you’re unwilling to risk potentially very bad bugs.
If you are unhappy with certain Lores being available (for instance some disliked Dark Elves receiving all Lores in 8th edition) you can remove one in the following way if you have Pack File Manager:
*Go to your Warhammer II installation folder, go into data, and copy it. It is called "ElvesAllStandardLores.pack". Rename the copy.
*Open the copy with pack file manager and go to "faction_agent_permitted_subtypes_tables". The hero types names make it clear which is which–delete the undesired caster from each faction (the left column is the hero, the right is the faction–delete every mention of that hero in this table).
*In your mod launcher you must de-select "Elve Have All Standard Lores" and use the copy you edited instead.
A note on Wood Elves: In 8th edition tabletop Wood Elf caster Lords are allowed to take High or Dark magic. Because Wood Elf caster lords are not in the game I have elected not to grant the Wood Elves access to these lores.
Special thanks to FrostyDemise who gave me the solution to an error with my mods being unable to update!
