Logically powerful merchants and shipping guilds should be sopping them up as fast as they can be built. The decanter of endless water is so powerful that access to them would completely change the face of our world. All the early empires built water control and distribution systems. In DnD the aquaducts get replaced with decanters. Though I suggest the average decanter is actually a 20 ton fountain and statue.Immovable rods are great for flying scafoldings. Although they are expensive enough thet they are probably just used for emergencies and repairs, as conventional scafolding is vastly cheaper.A wall of force is the ultimate dam.Permanent zones of truth in the courts, or perhaps the judges get detect lie items.Pay the construction guild enough and they can have your castle up tomorrow by bringing in mages with Wall of Stone and Fabricate. Unfortunately DnDs focus on tactical magic means even Elmunchkin couldn't build himself a castle in a day unless he felt like blowing a wish, so this probably wouldn't happen unless A) You have piles of high level wizards in your world or B) You bring in the Invocation rules from D20 Modern to make industrial magic possible or C) You have specialized use per day magic items. An organized society might well commision those. Thinking about it castle in a day is unlikely. But fortress in a month might be practical through a skillfull combination of magic, labor and magic items. Hmmm.... Anyone want to write up a 5 level General Contractor prestige class?</blockquote>
