D&D 5E 20th level Sorcerer vs the world

Ovinomancer

No flips for you!
From what you posted, Your Wizard has already died about 3x.
Nope, the Wizard never showed up, because your guy is a nobody -- why bother? I'll send a fruit basket to warm up the basement you hunker in, when I get around to caring to find out where you live, that is.

Because I just want efect of other Spell from lesser spell slot on specific area, on specific Spell.
It's nothig like "I wanna him death" or "dispell everything"
 




Another dead Wizard.

In many of the answers you postulate that the attacking wizard is dead, even when it's a simulacrum of his that leads the attack. This specific counter-attack will have to be established later, once all of the facts about the setup will have been clarified.

Defense 1)

Well, Sorcerer created this sanctuary that appears dark and foggy, preventing vision (including darkvision) through it.
It is impossible to discover its real location.
At-will MMD's detect magic will prevent any divination in your allies from approaching your stronghold.

If the enemy wants to get closer, it will be easily detected.

Granted, but discerning the location of the building where Hovering Target is dissimulated is still possible. There is no need to know the exact location of the target for some of the plans that have been proposed.

On the other hand, you earlier alluded that it was possible to attack the Sorcerer outside of his defenses constructed over many years. I am not sure it is already the case since you're bringing up Private Sanctum after Mighty Fortress and Temple of Gods. Because if the sorcerer is always inside a private sanctum, I'll call him the Hovering Holed Up Target : a 4th level spell slot, is needed to shroud a 100 feet long area for 24 hours. Even if the sorcerer uses all its 4th level and above spell slots on it, he gets 12 casting of it. He could also uses Sorcery Points to get more castings per day, but he'd use all his magical power to create a 5000 feet long (1.5 km) corridor every 24h. That's not a lot of distance covered each day for the ability to advance hidden at the cost of all the spellcasting ability. So, if this is the case, please confirm.

If this is not the case, there is no reason to assume the Wizard 20 will wait for the Sorcerer to be inside his Private Sanctum to engage his strike. He'll simply wait for the Hovering Holed Up Target to actually try do something useful and leave his Sanctum.

If you're trying to say that the Hovering Holed Up Target will sleep inside his Mighty Fortress or inside his Temple of the Gods just after having cast Private Sanctum, please clarify that as well.


Defense 2)

Defense against Meteor Swarm. Well, you can't see inside Private Sanctum. So:
Meteor Swarm Blazing orbs of fire plummet to the ground at four different points you can see within range 1 mile Meteor Swarm failed.
You cannot destroy any structure within the area.

I see that you are trying to use RAW against all common sense again. It is obvious that the intent of the spell isn't to prevent people for determining where to point their finger at... The area of the Meteor Swarm blast is 4 spheres of 40 ft radius. Even striking the sides of your private sanctum will be enough to reach most of your creatures as half the blast area will be inside your sanctum... including 40 feet toward the center of Sanctum, from each side. Even an even distribution of your Magen among the area will make you lose many of them on day one, without any possibilty of retaliation, as your magen army have their sight blocked across the boundary of the Private Sanctum, so they can't search for the invisible Wizard 20 simulacrum hovering in the sky above, even if they could somehow do that in the first place. Do you envision the Sorcerer sitting in the rather small "safe area" more than 40 ft from any border of the private sanctum inside the 100 ft square? Can we establish this as a fact as its your protection against Meteor Swarm Alpha Strike while you sleep?

In an earlier answer, you clarified that you were flying all the time, so can we establish that you're always flying inside the safe area of the Private Sanctum all the time or are you just flying when outside and in the Private Sanctum at night, when you can't flight?

Plus, you might want to correct the spell known list in the original post, which doesn't feature Private Sanctum, unless you must establish that the Sorcerers Wishes for it every day as well?



Defense 3)

If you try to get closer, you will have killed in 1 turn. If you try to find the location of the temple you will also be dead. You will try to disintegrate the Temple, first you will have to pass through these mentioned defenses. Being killed forever.
Not really, as the Magen can't see outside of the Private Sanctum because someone cast this spell just so "the barrier of the warded area appears dark and foggy, preventing vision (including darkvision) through it." There is nearly no risk to wander outside the Private Sanctum as the Magens don't have any other sense than regular sight.

The whole thread is hilarous 😉

What's hilarious is the idea of the fight.

Khelben Blackstaff: "today, I held off an army of kenkus and gargoyles threating my city"
Laeral Silverhand : "child's play, today I removed the influence of the Zhentarim from the Sword Coast, no less"
Elminter: "today, I defended Shadowdale against an army led by the God bane".
Khelben: "so you see Johnny, to join our league, you'll need to present us with an achievement of en equal magnitude to our daily lives!"

Johnny: "well, tomorrow, I'll go after a loner hidden in his mum's basement, claiming he was a demigod".
