Yes that's dirty pool but seeing them battle would a)bring a tear to my eye if it were still capable of such things and b)provide an excellent window for mischief and tomfoolery. Nothing too bad, nothing revealing one's true nature, of course.

Tom bombadil is a failed wizard I think. I suspect old man willow and the old forrest, and before all those forrests, were intended as a living phylactery, and old man willow is the actual remnant of Tom, what's left is him reasonably pure, powerful, and undying, unaware. Something went wrong, he hosed up the spell probably.

I don't think they do, but that scenario is also why you should have permanent walls of force around your tower, or imbue the stonework/walls with a self-regenerating capacity. I recommend using the imprisoned souls of dead adventurers as a power source for either, less for their energy potential and more to make an example.

You'll need another spell for radar. And one for IR. It's dumb, but it's just how things work.

However, (if you've got a servant to do minor some steering,) I'm gonna say that if you're fairly near to a city, then your invisible floating tower's base only needs to be higher than a standard extension ladder (+ a margin of error).

Or you could pull a trick with a floating tower that looks like it's part of a standard building until the proper time comes.

Invisibility spells only work on living eyes, if the living touch an invisible object they're going to figure it out unless they're dumb animals.

Radar operates by touch, so invisibility won't work. You're either going to have to invest in an, ugh, technological solution, or piggyback a glamour spell onto the radar wave somehow so that the viewer sees what you want them to see.

Technology is... tricky to interface with, especially the more powerful you are at magic.

Gang, recently I came into possession of a thrice-cursed tesseract. I'd rather not get into too many details as to how I acquired it because some of the rituals are my own creations and not yet patented, but after a few days of tinkering with it, I realized there's an eyeball inside it.

Since making contact, I've been hearing a lot of whispering in the back of my mind and whatever is in there yearns for freedom. Problem is, I just don't know what the heck it is. It's gotta be something extremely powerful if it's charging a tesseract so I'm wondering if I should just let sleeping dogs lie and be content with my engine of infinite energy or try to free the creature inside then enslave it as a thrall to my will
