Regardless of all the back and forth points, I think everyone discussing this agrees that, although this might be too "sciency" for some campaigns, it is indeed possible. The number of calculations/variables have ways of being dealt with/restricted. More than just the caster himself to both work on this thing and "fire" it were logically shown to be unessesary. This is indeed a possible project for a single high level caster, not even required to be of epic level. Someone with a good spell list in their head needs to put the spells to this thing.1a. Teleport to space a very specific distance away from the planet.1b. Get to the right speed to stay in orbit above a specific point.2. Construct curved mirror, facing away from the planet (so it isn't seen). Construct a focus lens.3. Using a latticework of some acceptable material (force?), connect a focusing lens to the mirror to merge all of the light into a single deadly ray.4. Move the construct to the right place and turn it to shwoop da whoop the desired target.It is reasonable that aiming the device would be like aiming any ranged weapon, with a critical fail (weapon breaking from accidentally moving it incorrectly enough that it plummets to earth and takes damage entering the atmosphere) and a roll of 20 meaning success, while every other roll would have it miss by certain degrees (a matter of 1 kilometer per miss of 20 (15=5km offtarget, 11=9, etc.)?).</blockquote>
