A lot of the problem is that shape earth is grossly overpowered, though the powers version may also be horribly underpowered. Consider the different shape spells:
- 1 fp in shape air: affects 5 cubic yards of air (about 10 lb)
- 1 fp in shape earth: 1 cubic yard (~2 tons, depending on the soil)
- 1 fp in shape fire: affects less than a cubic yard of fire.
- 1 fp in shape water: affects 20 gallons of water (about 170 lb)
If all the earth spells that affect cubic yards were changed to affect cubic feet they would be more on the same scale as other spells.
