Here is a draft.AGGREGATE: REIFIED VISIONConjuration (Creation) [Closed]Subseeds: Conjure (B, 20), delude (S, 20), fortify (D, 14), foresee (D, 12), transform (D, 14)Spellcraft Prerequisite: 80 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 minute; see text Range: 0 ft.Area: Up to twenty 30-ft. cubes (S)Duration: 40 hours, then instantaneous; see textSaving Throw: NoneSpell Resistance: No The conjure seed (20), delude seed (20), transform seed (at 14), fortify seed (14) and foresee seed (12) may combine in an aggregate which allows the concrete manifestation of an illusion as visualized by the caster.The caster may shape reality within the spell's area to conform with his or her will. Terrain may be modified, and structures created or removed to the extent of the caster's imagining: exacting detail with no craft check necessary is possible with a Reified Vision. The vision begins as a shadowy outline of the caster's wishes, which slowly gains substance and form. The area (twenty 30-ft. cubes or 540,000 cubic feet) is fully shapeable. A spell making use of a Reified Vision must be specify a particular result: a different vision requires the development of a separate spell.• A Reified Vision has a special duration: over the course of forty hours, it slowly becomes more substantial, until it achieves concrete reality. • A Reified Vision may not have its area shape modified – for example to a sphere or hemisphere – in order to allow subsequent area increases. Its area may otherwise be increased by using the normal factor: every additional group of twenty 30-ft. cubes increases the Spellcraft Prerequisite by +4.• Other factors and mitigating factors may be applied as normal to a Reified Vision (for example, to increase its range). • A Reified Vision which creates inherently valuable materials is limited in the same manner as the conjure seed: for each 2 (5?) gp in value created, the caster must spend 1 XP.• A Reified Vision cannot trap or directly harm subjects within its area of effect when invoked, although it might displace them to the limit of its area.• Whilst normal living vegetation (such as trees and flowers) can be conjured by a Reified Vision, animal life (or other life) is beyond the scope of its power: this also requires the use of the life seed (modified to a congruent area spell), and possibly other factors as determined by the GM.Specific uses of a Reified Vision might include:• Erect a Temple to Your Deity. (+20 for increasing the area by 500%). You conjure forth a temple compound covering three acres. The central worship place is a massive, vaulted dome over one hundred feet high and covering twenty thousand square feet. Other buildings, including chapels, a scriptorium, meditation chambers, courtyards, a kitchen, dormitories and so forth surround it. • Conjure a Fortress. (+60 for increasing the area by 1500%). You create an edifice of black granite with steel gates, pierced by arrow slits and topped with a crenelated battlement. The main tower is one hundred feet in diameter at its base, and its buttressed walls are twenty feet thick; it tapers to a pinnacle fifty feet wide. Machiolations project at irregular intervals from the walls. The tower is five hundred feet high, and its thirty stories can comfortably house a small army: designate space within the tower as you see fit. The tower is perched on a one-hundred foot high outcrop of rock, which can only be reached by a narrow bridge thirty fathoms long. A barbican of similar design guards the far end of the bridge. • Raise a Small Town from the Ground. (+140 for increasing the area by 3500%). You create a small town, with a marketplace, inn, taverns, workshops, wells, a guildhouse and six hundred private residences: any individual building may be up to three stories high. The town covers some fifteen acres, and is surrounded by a curtain wall fifteen feet thick and twenty feet high above a ten-foot ditch. The town has cobbled streets, two fortified gates, and a well-developed sewage system. • Demonstrate Your Ego and Authority. Erect a three-hundred foot high statue of yourself. Cover it in gold leaf for an extra 500 XP.</blockquote>
