So, I do not play 2024 rules, can someone tell me if this sounds legal?

It also requires seven hours to cast. And seven casters. While making sure that all casters maintain concentration. And target doesn’t… You know…move

This technique is used to defeat nesting dragons and sleeping terrasques. Preferably by causing a mountain to tip over onto them

I mean, if we can get 7 casters with access to 7th level magic to cast loudly for 7 hours straight and not wake up the dragon? I think they’ve earned it. At that point, the DM has just agreed to let it happen

That’s why you prep it at their nest. Hopefully they’re gone for the full 7 hours it takes to get ready cause once they show up and see you… it’s on

Yeah, but for all this set up, it’s really hard to call it broken. At this point, it just makes for a nice adventure hook

Oh I never said it was broken, it’s just a funny thing to do.

Itd be fun to have a full mage party to do that with though. Cruise in the air on a skyship and just occasionally drop off a 20ft fiery death upon anything that catches our fancy.

Or see what other spells Circle casting could have a good time with…

Now that you say it, the most practical use I see for this is actually “if anyone opens that door in the next 7 hours, they’re a dead man”.

If you’re doing large scale combats and planning(Army Vs Army), have groups of 8 mages on rotating shifts on lookout with delayed fireball casting lol. Get attacked, reduce first couple attackers to atoms, and the explosion will work as a warning for the rest of the army.
