That's really cool.

If I needed to limit it as a GM, I'd start to wonder what happens as the boulder drifts off course and hits the edge of the gate. Does it destroy the gate, kill the observers with shrapnel when it clips the edge, etc? Can you perfect it before you run out of wizards willing to try?

If it does work, what are the political ramifications? Cold wars? Superpowers? Detente? Dragon subjugation?

You could launch a decent campaign with this single idea.
