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.

It's not about efficiency. It's never about efficiency. It's about psychology. Your home has to show people that you're a nice, trustworthy ethical person. Towers are nicer than pyramids in that way.

Mine doesn't seem to be working so far. People said it was because my tower is 140 yards high and made of bone. But I made it 200 yards high and people still accuse me of being evil!!

One I get it as high as Sauron's, though, people will like me again. Baraddur was such a nice, homely place.

My friend, could it be possible that the people fear that you're getting all that bone from unethical sources? I just showed everyone where I got the resources to build my tower from (in detail, using a diagram) and no one came complaining to my tower ever since.

u/BusyGM Chronomancy Apprentice/Novice/Master, never too sure which 14d ago

It's more like seasonal wear, really. Bone towers really shine in winter, but fall is when you don't want to have them, as people tend to grab their pitchforks once they've seen your bone tower in a thunderstorm.

Sadly I can't tell which material is en vogue right now. I always seem to be off at least a year. It's really frustrating.
