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?

    That seems pretty efficient compared to bricklaying. If fine artistry in the walls (engravings etc.) are wanted, you probably would do it like that, by hand. Otherwise I imagine maybe wizard-created golems do most of the manual labor of forming the stone into wall shapes, and then artists are tasked with making them look pretty in the finer details?

      fine artistry in the walls

      hmmmm that's an interesting thought, as opposed to ornamentation on top of structurally 'normal' walls & features, a culture that designs everything about a building with the eye of a sculptor in stone. that'd be pretty alien
