As noted in my award nominated presentation World Domination And You: Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Supervillainy, placing mirrors in orbit can create a devastating effect on a small area of the world. How can we best bring this overly complicated, unnecessarily expensive, needlessly elaborate, and totally awesome means of bringing a country to its knees to fruition in a manner best befitting an egotistical 1970's James Bond-esque evil overlord in the world of Dungeons and Dragons?
Here is my plan.
1. Teleport onto the setting's moon. If the setting does not have a moon, create one using a very large boulder and Walls of Stone.
2. Cast Wall of Iron ten times to create some starting material.
3. Use Fabricate to create the frame of a giant mirror. (90 meters across sounds about right.)
4. Calculate the curvature necessary to focus sunlight onto specific areas of the world.
5. Using moon sand and the Fabricate spell again, create a giant parabolic of glass piece.
6. Cast Telekinesis and lift glass and fit it into the mirror frame. Note: things weigh less on a moon, so the amount of glass you can lift is much greater than what you would ordinarily lift.
7. Repeat steps 1-6 to form a giant array.
8. Now that you have turned your moon into a "death ray", cast Invisible Servant a bunch of times, and have them move your mirrors around to fry whatever insolent country defies your will like ants under a magnifying glass with concentrated solar rays.
9. ???
10. Profit
