[QUOTE="Rackhir, post: 3323916, member: 149"] First off it isn't exactly a "low level" spell. It's third for clerics/Druids and 4th for wizards. While this isn't exactly in Limited Wish territory, it isn't anywhere near the power category either. Compared to the other choices at those levels, it isn't something that is going to be getting taken a lot without a specific need. Second it affects a very-very-very limited volume. A 10th level caster is only getting 20 cubic feet affected. That means 10th lvl caster is only going to be able to create a 5' by 4' by 1' deep hole with one casting of the spell. That isn't even large enough to walk through without crouching AND you're only getting 1' deep. Trying to make it just 2' deep narrows your "door" to 3'x3'. Given that a castle wall is going to be 10' to 15' thick and that they usually are rubble cored (which would be unaffected), it's hardly an instant castle killer or dungeon breach. So limiting it to a contiguious unbroken piece of stone seems to be a needless nerf to an already limited spell. Especially since it doesn't get that specific in the spell description. [/QUOTE]
