I'm having some trouble finding estimates of the man-years involved in cathedral building, but if we say it takes a crew of 100, working for 20 years, and not working during the winter months (50% of the time), then you're looking at about 365,000 man-days, which means 38 days on the lyre.Of course, you could always combine them--have the full spellcasters pump out wall of stone while the bard plinks away on the lyre.  With a wizard, a cleric, and a bard all working together, you could have the whole thing finished in a week or two.(The really munchkin trick, of course, is to point out that the lyre's description doesn't give any details about the "100 humans laboring for 3 days," and argue that you should be able to get the benefit of 100 eighteenth-level sorcerors laboring for 3 days each. In that case, I calculate you can build a cathedral in roughly 4 minutes. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> )</blockquote>
