Magic as technology - Spells and TL

Not from the description. You can transport buildings intact. But now that I think of it, it was already made, didn't it?
But a heavy earth mover is probably a good comparison to Alter Terrain.

Mud Jet | seems lower to me, just a bag full of mud/sludge you can squeeze

Seems lower to me, too, to be honest, but I couldn't find anything on earlier pumps for such dense fluids. And I still feel like it's more advanced than squeezed bag because of the noticable knockback.

Earthquake | Probably TL 7 again, think subsurface nuclear bomb
Essential Earth | Not that advanced, we already produce much more than 10 times what a TL 3 society could produce with modern farming techniques
Walk Through Earth | The tunneling option would be much earlier TL

That sounds really reasonable. I'll have to think about it when I won't be so sleepy anymore.

I've actually meant to suggest a change to when Spells develop (among other things).
