Full migration notes (NOTE 2.9.0 was a big update!):

https://raw.github.com/elBukkit/MagicPlugin/master/MIGRATION.md

• Enchanting is a little wonky, due to having to swap out the item for an enchantable one
• Combining wands on an anvil is glitchy but works (you have to click the empty result slot)
• Using the creative inventory will destroy any wands you have :(
• The Essentials sign integration is pretty hacky, but functional.
