Good catch, thanks guys, I missed that. Sort of renders this course of action really impractical, huh?
;)
Could still be done with multiple castings of shrink item over time, but the permanency would be cost prohibitive. A bunch of 5th level wizards or 6th level sorcerers could pull it off over time, but again - not practical at all.
As for the container, shape stone (or a lyre of building, or a dozen dwarves with strong backs and a few) could easily hollow out a reservoir on the surface of any exposed rock. After all, the water needs to shrink, nothing else...

Oh, we're not trying to short-cut the game at all. It's more of a mental exercise, just to see if it could work. The GM is in on our discussion, so it's all above-board. He mentioned the "Rule Zero" thing. And yes, it would be a one-shot deal, so we wouldn't want to waste it. My character is a divination specialist though, so we'd go out of our way to minimize the chance for error...

Hadn't thought of whether or not it's actually 100 gallons or 400K gallons still for purposes of the dust of dryness.
As for line of effect, AMF doesn't need it, so that's still one option.
Anyways, the "no damage from size-changing" precedent, while not explicit for something like that, is the deal-killer though. I had forgotten that.
