Switching from a rigid material like stone or iron to a flexible material like wood has implications any time you have loads that can cause wood to split (plus, it does burn). And for any  tall pillars where the slenderness ratio(kl/r) is a factor. It is entirely plausible for a wood column to flex and split. If the pillar held up an arch, you start to destabilize the structures.  With a column & beam you would use the longest side and start deforming a central column, then the adjacent columns that could sag more, then go back to the center to flex it again until the load splits the column work from center to edges.It is not the fastest approach in the world but it requires no spell components or spell slots.  And of course, survival is very suspect when taking down a ceiling from the inside. I suppose a vampire transmuter would be the ideal practitioner of this form of demolition. Lots of time and can turn to mist.</blockquote>[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]
