Wall of Iron's duration: Instantaneous
Wall of Stone's duration: Instantaneous

For the info of yall,
1" for every 4 levels ....at say level 13 that would be 3" or 1/4 of a foot
at 5 foot cube/level the volume is :
5x5x.25x14=87.6 cubic feet
1m3=27 cubic feet
14th level wall is 3.24 m3
Iron has a density of 7.88
That makes the wall 1000x7.88x3.24 =25566kg
In pounds thats 56250 pounds!!
14060 long swords
Have a skill level of say 15 in weponsmith and an Int bonus of +5.
cast wall iron then fabricate
three rounds later rolld20 (result is say 12)
Total=32
Puff 14060 masterwork longswords
by DMG: 14060x300 + 14060x(normal cost that I dont have at hand but lets say 4gp) = 4,274,240gp
Whilst all the economists may point out that you would be better creating a mix of products I think the fact is clear that the mix is crazy.

SRD on Fabricate.
So that would be 7 fabricates.
Iron, also, is not the same a steel. The amount of iron needed to make steal is greater (by a fair margin) so you won't have that much steel.
Finally,
so the DM should say you can make one sword per casting of the spell.
Incidently, you would be better off making masterwork daggers, less metal.

You know, I don't know why any self-respecting mage would even cast wall of iron. Iron rusts. They'd be better off casting wall of aluminum, or wall of titanium. Aluminum is the most common of all metals, and doesn't rust, and titanium is way stronger and lighter than iron, and also doesn't rust.
And, both have atomic weights less than iron (Fe -26) versus Aluminum (13) or Titanium (22).
So if you've got a spell that creates trillions of atoms out of thin air, it seems like it'd be easier if their atomic weights were less.
But wall of iron is a 5th level spell. Surely, something as powerful as an 7th or 8th level spell could create large chunks of atomic weights such as 78 or 79 (platinum and gold respectively). Think of the damage that could be done to an economy if you had wizard's throwing around walls of gold, and walls of platinum.
