The buildings and structures of Evermeet are constructed using this spell. With it, natural materials such as stone, crystal, and wood can be transformed into sculptures, shelters, buildings, or even great palaces.
The building material must maintain contact with the earth at all times and still be in contact at the end of the spell. The material being affected must be within a radius equal to 10 feel times the level of the caster.
The caster can create any object with a volume equal to 1,000 cubic feet (10 x 10 x 10 feet) per level. Each 1,000 cubic feet so created takes one entire day. Once created, the object can be added to at the same rate 1,000 cubic feet per day) for as long as the caster wishes.
The DM should work with the player to determine the exact nature of the object or structure created. It can be subdivided with rooms, walls, hallways, or chambers as the caster wishes, but the creation of complex areas such as vaulted ceilings, columns, or galleries will add to the overall construction time. Once construction is complete, the structure is permanent and needs no further magical enhancement or maintenance. The building is not subject to dispel magic, though it is subject to dispel enchantment.
Buildings constructed using this technique will maintain the appearance and texture of the substance they were created from.
These structures are also much stronger than those constructed using non - magical techniques. If besieged or attacked, they receive a - 5 bonus to all saving throws (DMG, Chapter 9).
