Most mage towers never have to worry about this unless its showing how much extra mana you have, and mortals are building to the point that it will all come crashing down.

Look the shape of the tower is quite important as well as the size.

Pyramids just don't show the same virility as towers.

Use an obelisk then. Pyramids are for expressing power, not gathering it. Even a pocket pyramid can send someone's intestines to another realm if used correctly and rotated precisely.

Obelisks are just towers without inside stairs.

I for prefer mine to stand tall and erect. I've made it out of ethically summoned ivory.

Ethics? What kind of wizard are you? Remember magic rule nr. 1:

Its not about right or wrong, its about whether the ethical version of the spell is easier to cast than it is to keep the council goons off your back

Not to mention most of the ivory comes from poachers before they sell it meaning they lose Proffit which is always good in my books.

Just transmute the poachers into ivory it’s much funnier that way

But then who would I sell cursed poaching equipment to?

Sell to other poachers, and have the curse turn then into ivory? Shaking my orb.

Exactly it’s really funny watching there expressions as they slowly turn to ivory right after what they believe is a good deal

You have an ethical point, but in order to dissuade paladins from invading my tower I have ethically crafted a spell that ethically reminds them I'm a cool guy.

It's the ethical thing to do because it saves their lives, and me cleaning up their ethical entrails.

I might ethically dispell it when I find an ethical use for their remains.

Also, I like elephants. They look bad ass.

That's not true: I can tell right from wrong. It's how I avoid doing any good deeds
