so i had a dream where a group and i were magically summoning like, liquid stone and by-hand forming it into walls--this is clearly half-baked and inefficient--so how would YOU make or enhance construction processes using magic, sci-fi technology, or fictional materials?
Just creating a world where stone is a much easier material to create and use would be fun to explore. It would actually have far-reaching consequences re: the political economy.
you'd have to invent whole new reasons to get a bunch of hunks in chains and loincloths sweating in the hot sun!
maybe the religiously significant rock is still too heavy, or the easy-to-move methods remove/taint/curse the supernatural good stuff the religion needs/likes about it.
For some other fancy rock or rare flora like the humies normally do.
