I assume a pace to equate to about 3 feet. What assumption did you use? By my calculations, the volume of the structure (if the entire mass was a single block of stone) is 162,000 cubic feet, or 6000 cubic paces (once again, 1 pace = 3 feet). As a base Group is 10 standard Individuals, our base is then 10 cubic paces, with three raises for Size +3, that allots us 10,000 cubic paces of stone. Since the majority of the structure is hollow and/or open space, we scarcely need that amount, but would likely need more than 1000 cubic paces (which is all Size +2 would allot).This spell can be done as Group, I suppose, though the actual structure is all one building, not individual buildings. Alternately, it could be Individual, but with Size +4. That would, of course, lower it to Level 35, which would be on par with Conjuring the Mystic Tower (although that spell, I believe, is not necessarily calculated correctly. It has a Size +4, but for the amount of stone actually required for the dimensions specified, it only needs a Size +3 (unless, of course, you want a pillar of solid stone).As the base Individual for stone is 1 cubic pace, not 1 cubic foot (which is for metal), this seems miscalculated. My calculation for paces (as above) is 1 pace = 3 feet. As is, then, I calculate this spell would destroy 100 cubic paces (or 2700 cubic feet) of stone and dirt. A more efficient version, then, would be Size +1 to destroy 10 cubic paces (or 270 cubic feet) of stone and dirt, at PeTe 10. This version is feasible for spontaneous casting, which is how I anticipated the underground portion would actually be excavated.</blockquote>
