Message: <blockquote data-quote="Elder-Basilisk" data-source="post: 225335" data-attributes="member: 3146">Another thing that shouldn't be overlooked: The durations of the spells.Shrink Item is a great spell--at least for the transportation angle that he wants to use. That is, after all, what the spell is designed to do.Reduce, on the other hand lasts 1 minute per level. (And is a non-fixed/personal range spell and therefore can't be made persistant). That's hardly enough time to do what the player wants to do. I would expect that, even if a magically reduced item doesn't count as a magical item (which shrink item can't effect), when the reduce spell wore off five minutes later, the shrink item spell would end as well (since the item is now too large to be effected by it).Reduce is also far too short term to allow for large scale mold making. Fabricate exists for large scale fabrication of items.Similarly, shrink item/reduce and carving is one way to quickly assemble fortresses, but a higher level wizard would do it even more quickly with Wall of Stone, Wall of Iron, Dig, and Move Earth. (All of which are instantaneous duration now and not susceptable to dispelling). If I were you, I would decide which things work and don't work and then have the elders respond in character, picking one or two of his workable ideas and saying that they will consider them for a field trial (of 100 years or so if you want to go along with the "elves take a century for anything" approach).</blockquote>
