As such, this is simply adding the Damage modifier to the spell with sufficient quantity and modifiers to represent a massive falling boulder. That it creates a massive falling boulder simply gives the option to cast this as a Create Matter effect instead of a Destroy Matter effect. I'd allow either for this sort of thing, personally, but others might be more stringent.
Yep. This is overthinking the subject. Just add the damage modifier.
