So, are you saying that if one creates a gale force wind, one must also pay to move a sailboat with it? That doesn't sound right to me. Similarly, one should not have to pay to put out flames by creating rain over a fire; it is simply a natural consequence of the spell effect.

However, I would certainly charge a Greater Effect for creating 50 tons of stone 50 yards in the air; that seems to qualify as a rather unnatural situation. I'd charge another for Greater Create Matter, since 50 tons seems like a great amount to me. That will put the total energy required for the ritual quite a bit higher than 29.
