"This is why you don't annoy the Wizard!... your all gonna be so upset when I get the castle and you'll all be dirty Rascals!" - Crastar, Aspiring Mage
To conjure your castle, you need to set your components in a circle with the toy soldiers in the middle, find a hill or flat surface of land you are familiar with, picture your Castle, it could be however big or tall you want it, once made that mental image, go through the floors, room by room, picture what's in them.
Once that is complete, in 24 hours, there will be a permanent standing castle, once you give it a name, the name will appear on the castle gate, the toy soldiers, (5 or more) will become animated standing guards, (1 toy soldier = 10 Guards to the castle), they do not require food, water or air, but will defend the castle until the castle is destroyed, or they are.
The toy castle defenses become battlements (5 or more), this includes walls, catapults, watchtowers, arrow slits, marticulations etc. the only limit is how many components you have, if you have the minimum you can collect more to add tiers to your castle, more soldiers and battlements for example. The citizens inside the castle are minimum, this can be butlers, stable hands, smiths, tavern holders, servants, there is no limit if the roll is high enough
* - (5 Stone Rocks, 3 Dull Glass Shard, 5 Toy Soldiers, 5 toy castle defenses, 3 Clay Balls, 2 wooden sticks & 3 cotton & Silk handkerchiefs)
"5 Stone Rocks"
Good thing you specified that. We wouldn't want people using wooden rocks, now would we? ;)
Jokes aside, this is a pretty neat idea for a spell. I'm just curious in what sorts of situations this would be helpful in a campaign.

Yeah I thought it be funny if it was specified but thank you for your comment, and this spell is kind of one of those spells that takes ages to cast, so it works in a way of something to do in a spare time, like if you a scroll for conjure castle same time requirement and components, but it could be a base of operation in area of your choosing basically
I love this spell, and I definitely want to use it, but I have two questions:
1.What do you mean by:
2. Once the castle is built, how can you
What would that process look like after the spell is cast, and the castle built?
Man you're a GENIUS. Incredible idea, I really loved it, definetly gonna use it in my campaign.
"The best parts of a campaign is where you do literally anything you want in it" I always say this and the players usually say something life "inside the rules" or similar stuff. But this is what I mean, a spell where you create a castle! Really, this was an awesome idea congratulations
hey thanks for your comment
and to answer both, to get extra tiers for your castle, you have to simply gather more items and place either inside or outside your castle, go through the same spell, and more curtain walls and outside defenses or a keep will appear
and with the servants what I mean is, the minimum is like one toy figure for every 5 people, and you have to have a clear mind on what you want those group of 5 to be, it's literally up to you and your DM on how you want to use this spell within reason, it's up for variety on how you want to use it, I hope this answers your questions, please reply if you need anything calrified
thanks Adarai_amakiir
I'm glad you enjoy this spell, I find that conjuration is lacking in massive 9th level spells, that are meant to fantastical or awe inspiring so that is why i'll do more of these, mainly level or scaling down but definitely give the conjurer an arenal to work with
Great idea. With demiplanes being difficult to use without constantly using spell slots, something like this would be a really nice home base. Only thing, you say you can add as many soldiers and battlements as you like. What's to stop you from creating thousands of soldiers? You could probably buy a toy soldier in any city for a few gold pieces, say 5 gp. A high-level adventurer could afford to pay 50 thousand for 10,000 toy soldiers, giving them an army of 100k soldiers. Though, maybe that's the point, and it seems like the soldiers would have to remain inside the castle. Anyway, I really like the spell, and would totally use it in-game if I could.
dear Chaseleffers
Your exactly right, the soldiers would remain in the castle as they are there to defend it and not leave, the only time when they wouldn't be there is if they were destroyed, but think of them like high level guards, not expert fighters or archers, but can hold their own.
and thank you for your comment, and limit of soldiers is as big as you or your DM makes it, it's up to you to say how many go into this castle.
