Made a Simple 3x3 Tile House with Stone Shape using 'Legal Math'! Heres How.
I did some simple math using this website.
Click here to check it out.
In doing so at level 7, able to use Stone Shape to manipulate up to 17³ of stone per cast, with 6 casts I made a 7ft tall, 2 inch thick, 15ft by 15ft house.
Each tile had 30 HP and 8 Hardness, being made out of stone.
This is a picture to explain and show how.
If you had ways to boost your Caster Level or did it at higher level to have at least 21³ (Level 11 Caster Level) to work with, you could do it in 5 casts instead of 6. Etc.
And if you're nitpicky about the 102 compared to 104, just don't add an archway and you have 101.666³.
Also, consider the fact the corners and edges are overlapping so there is technically less. Though that math is beyond me.
Also if you need an example of how to calculate it using the website..
This is an example of the Wall Tile.
Thats the Wall Tile, 7ft Height, 2 Inches Thick(Width), and 55ft Length since there are 11 tiles.. And They're all 5ft Length, so 5 x 11 = 55.
This is an example of the Ceiling Tile
The Ceiling Tiles are 5ft Height, 2 Inches Thick(Width), and 45ft Length since they're 5ft wide and 5 x 9 since there's 9 tiles = 45.
And of course the ground would be whatever you left it as, I didn't factor that in. But if you wanted to it'd just be another ceiling, so just add another 37.5ft³ to the total. Or half of that if you only want the floor to be 1 inch Thick(Width). 18.75ft³.
Example of a 'Floor' Tile, which is a 1 inch instead of 2 inch Ceiling Tile.
So obviously the spell isn't as grossly 'expansive' as people assume it is, you can't just shit out an entire mansion made of earth from the ground with a single cast by any means. But if you do some basic math with the website since cubic math is complicated you can make some realistic judgements per surface persay.
To give you concept and a way to imagine it.. 15ft³ which is what you can mold at 5th level which is when you can first get the spell, if you make a Perfect Cube with that amount it ends up at just under 2.6ft by 2.6ft by 2.6ft, so.. Not HALF(1/2) or ONE QUARTER(1/4), but ONE EIGHTH(1/8) of a 5ft by 5ft by 5ft Cube or a D&D tile height included. Imagine if you took a Minecraft block, cut it down the middle, turn it 90 degrees so you're facing a not-cut surface, cut it down the middle again, now cut horizontally through the middle of the block's height. You'd have 8 cubes that make up the original.
This is a 15.625ft³ Cube, '1/8' of a 5ft x 5ft x 5ft Cube. It is 2.6ft x 2.6ft x 2.6ft.
This is a 125ft³ Cube, a full 5ft x 5ft x 5ft Cube.
Simply said.. You could also if you're going by a Perfect Cube, just take 15.625ft³ and multiply it by 8 to get 125ft³.
At Level 5 when you first get the spell, since 15 isn't 15.625, you would need 7 casts of the spell to make what I did above. 15³ x 7 = 105³. Which is just over 101.666ft³.
