Building your own mountain

[ra...@euclid.nmu.edu]

How can a very high level mage build a mountain? For example, how big a
mountain can a WISH spell generate? How much earth can an earth elemental
move in an hour?

-Much Thanks

Seems to me I remember the Dark Sun rules had spells for creating an
entire mountain range! But that was classed as tenth level magic and
took days to cast (or something similar). Either the wish spell was
eliminated or made far less powerful.

In general terms I'd say the Wish spell would make a mountain of
reasonable size. I guess it all depends on how you word the Wish and how
generous the DM is feeling.

I once had a druid character create a little island in the middle of a
lake using rock to mud reversed (there was an existing rocky bit there
already) to shape it how he wanted.

Hmm... I hope this didn't damage the environment, because I hear druids are
a tad picky on that.

How do you measure a mountain anyway? When did people begin the (rather
pointless) task of determining exactly how high the mountains were?
If someone asked me how tall a mountain was, in character, I'd have to
say. "About the same size as most mountains you've seen. Are you going
to get out your knotted rope and start measuring?"

Actually, if someone in my campaign wished for a mountain, I'd probably
start it growing underneath him. Either that or bring an existing
mountain to him. Bet the Dwarves'd be pissed. Them and the dragons.

Don't know... but I bet the spell component for such an endeavor would
probably be a mole hill.....
