Ugh this is frustrating... anyone care to post this for me on the Rules forum?
Title
Fabricate: the ultimate war-time spell?
Body
Can you use the Fabricate spell to turn part of a stone wall fortification into easily moved bricks? Could you use it to turn a wooden palisade into a nice stacks of kindling? Could you use it to essentially demolish a wooden structure by turning it into planks or some such? In a mass-combat battlefield this spell would seem invaluable. Siege engines could be turned into sticks... sticks could be turned into siege engines to help your side. The very ground below you could be turned into a wall, etc. Am I misreading the spell in these examples?
Here is the spell from the SRD for those interested:
Fabricate:
Transmutation; Sor/Wiz 5; V, S, M; Casting Time: See text; Range: Close; Target: Up to 10 cu. ft./level; see text; Duration: Instantaneous; Saving Throw: None; Spell Resistance: No
You convert material of one sort into a product that is of the same material. Creatures or magic items cannot be created or transmuted by the fabricate spell. The quality of items made by this spell is commensurate with the quality of material used as the basis for the new fabrication. If you work with a mineral, the target is reduced to 1 cubic foot per level instead of 10 cubic feet.
You must make an appropriate Craft check to fabricate articles requiring a high degree of craftsmanship.
Casting requires 1 round per 10 cubic feet (or 1 cubic foot) of material to be affected by the spell.
Material Component: The original material, which costs the same amount as the raw materials required to craft the item to be created.
