Just wanted to get a sense of how others would rule on this since it's likely going to come up in our next session.
Anyhow... The guy who plays our wizard is an engineer...
This is the theory he came up with.
Mage hand can move 25 lbs of earth each time it is cast.
Since it is a minor action and a combat round is 6 seconds long this means it must take no more than 2 seconds to successfully move 25 lbs of earth up to 25 feet.
Now the number crunching comes in. 25*3 (per round) =75
75*10 (ten rounds per minute) = 750
750*60 (minutes per hour) = 45000 lbs per hour
Convert to short tons = 22.5 US tons per hour.
This means that given a couple of hours he should be able to create a pretty decent trench system/earthwall right?
