everyone wants their wizard tower to be the tallest and most ominous. but they never want to do the arcane paperwork or get the proper fey permits for their "sky-rending obelisk of pain." 🙄 it'll fall over. idiot

As an electrician, I would require so much PPE for my crew to work the site. Getting the right arcane plenum rated wiring for the space would a nightmare, but I think we can get the back up generators running soon.
And did you read the local ordinance, which explicitly states that all magical smoke produced during daylight hours must be one of the six approved colors.
And no loud screams or monster roars after 9pm til 6am
And I'm certain that your choice of sentient plants are not on the approved hoa list
"Esteemed Wizard of the East, Three dawns have passed without the sun's embrace, my rituals thwarted by your tower's presence. Should a 4th go by I cannot be held responsible for what wild forces ascend from my valley to rectify this situation ... blessings upon you, Samson"
i ran all the numbers myself, and I can assure you my tower WON'T dramatically crumble (unless the dragon on the top floor is defeated by a party of adventurers but what are the odds of that)
Oh yeah, the fey courts don’t mess around. With laws as old and mysterious as the most hidden depths of nature and dream itself, you’ve gotta watch out for the ancillary clauses or you’ll accidentally sell a firstborn child you didn’t know you’d have or end up having to export a ton of gold yarn
“Of COURSE it’s supposed to fall over! When the heroes defeat me and my magic disappears, the symbol of my oppression will topple. Isn’t it poetic?” -quote some evil guy who loves a good heroes’ tale.
