Given that Frankthedm ignored the rest of my point, I didn't feel it necessary to pay attention to his, especially since he was just simply repeating points that had already been made above, that I obviously didn't agree with. If the rule had some clarifications or intensifications on the "single piece", I might agree with that interpretation of the rules, but it doesn't. Mechanically, I don't really see the difference between a mortared together stone wall and a natural strata of rock that might contain several different types of stone.If the spell allowed you to instantly create vast chasims or pits or structures, then I could see nerfing the spell with the above restriction. Given that it's going to take something on the order of 10 to 15 castings to make a hole, you will have to stoop in order to pass through, in a castle wall or moderately thick dungeon wall, I think it's entirely pointless to restrict the spell in this fashion. It's especially pointless when you consider that most thick stone walls are not even solid stone. They are generally filled with rubble and other kinds of fill that would not be affected by Stone shape even under my more lenient reading of things.</blockquote>
