Table[edit]

It would simplify understanding of this spell if a table showing concentration time in one column and effect in the other column was created. --Havvy 11:22, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Genesis is a really poorly thought-out spell, and it's good to see a version which makes sense.

A lot of the things in this could be done by redecorating with lower-level spells instead, though, so they could be cut out completely if you don't want to go Surgo's route.

Altering the time trait seems like a bad idea.

I'm very curious to know what sort of special preparation makes a bunch of short wires cost about a thousand times more than normal.

This article is way too long. It's not a bad idea, but it's written the wrong way: long instead of short.

Instead of specifying what we can do, specify what we can't. For a spell like this, that ought to be a much shorter list.

This seems to be, from where I stand, a more expansive version of genesis, which I have never really seen any use for. Although the reduction of ambiguity regarding creation is welcome, other questions, such as those of accessibility, still remain. Although I am sure there is a place in D&D for things like this somewhere, I cannot really say that I have ever seen anyone actually attempt to make use of something like this in a game. Thus while this is mechanically sound for the most part, my belief in the general superfluousness of things like this means I cannot rate it very highly.

Obviously this spell is not a combat spell, but more a plot event type spell. And it works fine at that end. It has significant costs, so whoever decided to use it would presumably have some sort of interesting plan to go with making a personal plane. That's fine by me. As a flavorful spell, it seems to offer a good possibility at what it is supposed to do: create more flavor for the game.
