15 A. Rage I'll be in tomorrow (not before, note)(5) ma??a
I see 'mania' which could be 'rage', but what does the rest of the clue mean? Thanks to anyone who's better at deciphering Inquisitor than I am!

Hi Malone
Mania is right. Tomorrow = Manana, with an "I" inside but not A for ante (before)and N for Note.

I've finally solved all the clues, got the thinker etc - I just don't know how to 'thematically modify' the unclued entries. Any advice/tips would be very welcome.
