Ah yes, your way does sound better. Well, I'm not a native speaker anyway (my usual excuse <grin>).

A witch doctor isn't nefarious but something like a shaman. Which by the way would be a more fitting title for a druidic magic user than Conjuror, while Conjuror might be more apt for an atheist magic user than Illusionist.
I was trying to suggest that Necromancer would be a more appropriate title for a nefarious healer than Warlock.

Porter: Owl's Roost Tavern, you say to him;

"What do you got for sale?"

should be:

"What do you have for sale?"
or
"What have you got for sale?"

Well you're doing better than most brits :)
Anyway, that was just one of the many that you did get.

In the magick guild in Blackwater you're told that the guild isn't accepting new members "do to the ongoing conflict" - should be due, obviously.

Innkeeper in Blackwater says,

"Greetings to you, guest of Blackater. I am Eeru, owner of the Lonely Spirits tavern. Relax and have a drink! I a room available if you need a bed for the night."

Should it read 'I have a room....?

I checked the other pages and didn't see anyone else report this.

Found a typo (patch 1.02), When trying to close a door and you're standing in the doorway:

"You are standing in there doorway and cannot close the door!"
should be:
"You are standing in the doorway and cannot close the door!"

William the councilor in Blackwater... once you've completed the quest he gives you he says:

"Well, I've got no worried about it right this minute. Here, let me get you a bit of coin from the city's coffer. You deserve this."

might I suggest: 'coinage' which means coins collectively and would make more sense.

Actually, "coin" can be used to describe a number of coins. Ex. "He's got plenty of coin in the bank."

I'm more concerned about the first part of the sentence: "Well, I've got no worried about it right this minute."
Should be something like:
"Well, I'm not worried about it right this minute." or
"Well, I've got no worries about it right this minute."

Here's one from the Goblin wizard in the citadel, he says "controll" instead of "control."

Good man. That's probably just my own fingers slipping from s to d though, rather than an in game typo, but well spotted. That's what I get for not proofing my own posts. ;)

Never heard of coin as plural, but I see you are right.
