It might be "fun", but if you have clever creative players, you'll sooner or later run into needing to know what the limits are. e.g.:

* Where can you Create a wall - what's the minimum support under it needed to Create it there?

* Can you create them just barely balanced at the top of staircases so you can easily tip them over down the staircase?

* What ST is required to tip a created wall over? Does the slope of the ground it is on matter?

* Can you make them cylindrical so you can get them rolling like a steamroller?

* Can you use them as reusable boulders to crush people below from the top of a castle wall?

* Can you build a siege weapon designed to hurl them as ammo?

* What if a mechanician designs various machines designed to be powered by created walls created inside the mechanism? e.g. a lightweight trebuchet where the weight providing the orce is designed to be provided by a created wall. Or a very tall mechanism designed to harvest power from a descending weight - since Create Wall doesn't care about conservation of energy, this could potentially create a LOT of mechanical energy.
