[QUOTE="Benjamin Olson, post: 8937437, member: 6988941"] Both the Wizard and their Simulacrum can cast Mighty Fortress, for a combined 200 unseen servants who unlike their Magnificent Mansion cousins are, depending on how you read the spell, able to leave the Fortress. So 1 minute (and 1,000 gold in diamonds) in and you've already got an army of hands to do simple mundane tasks, as well as enough food for 200 people to enjoy 7 days of 9 course banquets (that's 12,600 servings). My ideas of what to do with that set of resources range from "just see how many towers you can add to the fortress complex with Galder's Tower", to starting a Bed and Breakfast, to hosting a regional wizard summit, to tricking the entire town to come over for a feast while my army of undead and I ransack the town. And not all of those ideas even necessarily involve casting additional spells. I think this exercise would be easier if we had some goals for the level 20 Wizard in mind, because otherwise all I can say is he could cast 24-29 leveled spells, not including rituals, cantrips, or his simulacrum's spells. A level 20 Wizard could spend just over 2 minutes minutes firing off 133 magic missiles, come back later in the day after an arcane recovery and fire off 24 more, and otherwise sleep the day away, and if that is all he seeks in life I suppose it's a productive day. Another level 20 Wizard could Wish herself a Simulacrum and they could each spend a little under 3 hours casting Galder's Tower a collective 30 times (and two more times at level 5 for the Wizard herself after arcane recovery) creating a complex with 136 rooms spread over 32 towers, but unless she plans to do the same again the next day, the towers will all disappear and this industriousness is perhaps no more productive than that of Mr. Magic Missiles. The Wizard is a problem solver class. We need to give them problems to solve. So I propose that anyone who has an idea for a difficult challenge a Level 20 Wizard might face to lay it out for us, and we can all puzzle over how the right level 20 Wizard might attack it.
