Message: <blockquote data-quote="robertliguori" data-source="post: 3902862" data-attributes="member: 47776">The problem with this theory is that Wall of Iron and Fabricate are both core, trivially-available spells.  Anyone can purchase a scroll of them in a sufficiently-sized community, or any caster who levels up can take them.*whackwhackwhack*Wizard: Congratulations! You have finally just about worn away my False Life buffer.  Now, if you would like to die natural deaths, leave me alone and don't make me use my Sudden Sile-Craftsmen: Gag him! Wizards can't cast when they're-Wizard: *Sudden-silent Dimension Doors away.  Babau slay the craftsmen in the night*"OK, I need you all to send an expedition down to Graywaters.  They'll sell scrolls of Wall of Iron there.  I'll need 100 bits of iron, and 100 pounds of gold dust. Also, an obscene amount of other wealth.  We're talking real estate weatlh here, although the knowledge that you will soon be able to build your own castle out of solid iron should make up for it. And I'm going to need XP.  I'm going to need lots of XP.  ...Hah.  Round up a few peasants and find me a desecrated chapel.  I've got a passable knowledge(religion) modifier." ...."What's this, pa?""This crater, son, used to be the biggest city in all the lands.""What happened, pa?""Well, you know those stories about being careful what you wish for?  It turns out that if what you want is total and wholesale destruction, you don't need to be precise.  There was a wizard called Ebnoth once, who ended up in a war against the other wizards of the land, and the nobles.  When it became clear he couldn't win fairly, he bound a task force of glabrezu and wished for each of them to cause massive harm and ruin to befall the wizards and the nobles, as much as they could cause.  And that's why we're all slaves of the goblins now.""That sounds rather vindictive, pa.""Well, son, the thing is, wizards everywhere like to get their way, and are willing to kill a lot of people to do so.  This means bad things whenever wizards get into a fight about getting their way.""Gosh."Mind you, this is all assuming that Ebnoth the 2nd doesn't simply rob and murder the various guilds into economic and actual oblivion before starting his own crafting schemes.  It's hard to pay the Wizard's guild to remove a wizard when he's just looted your treasury and payed them to remove you, after all.</blockquote>
