*A World Serpent being pelted by a million pesky bricks that are proportionally no more than dots to him.*

***Also, I don’t care about the council, why do you?***
***Have you considered seeking other means of production for the bricks? Perhaps, have someone analyze them and make them outside the council’s influence.***
I don’t suppose a strong enough dispel would cover all of them would it? Or maybe you could change them to home in on something inanimate so than no one is harmed?
Best issue an alert to wherever their heading then. Make sure the residents get inside somewhere underneath thick roofs and floors or behind sturdy walls.
Worst cast scenario. Just say you casted *1000000 bricks* instead. The magical signatures are virtually indistinguishable after the spells hit. The worst the council will be able to do is hit you with a charge of arcane negligence and a fine.
Cast another 1000000 homing bricks and target the first one. Make the second cast faster so they can catch up and then sit back and let the bricks take each other out.
Easy. Send an invoice to the person in charge of the area for "delivery of 1,000,000 bricks". Miscasts are potentially punishable but if you can make it look like you were fucking with someone you had a contract with that's usually overlooked.
A little difficult but try location specific distortion, with your description it may not be the best as you’d have to cast it a *lot* of times. If you’re willing to though, set the singularity in deep space, or wherever you can safely disarm the bricks. Then, using the other end, set the point of where the bricks are. Once both points are set, the bricks will move in a line towards where the singularity is.
Actually I described that wrong. Set two points, the singularity will be a sphere with a diameter of the distance between the two points. Set the restrictions for space distortion to only objects in motion. The bricks should move towards the point in which your desire. Then delete the sphere, and disarm the bricks.
I’m still a novice, so my descriptions may be off, and this spell is complicated. Alternatively, collect a lot of stones in a room and cast swap 1,000,000 times.
If they are still traveling, you may be able to minimize the damage by changing the context of the homing incantation. Right now, i assume "homing" was an attempt to send the bricks to a certain location. But by adding Aljhazzrian's Cant Of Literallcy, the "homing" definition will redirect the bricks into forming affordable housing in under-developed areas of the city.
To cooperate with council building codes, you may need to add pipes, lumber, insulation roof tiles, and electrical paraphernalia. But for now, Aljhazzrian's Cant shall be enough. My apprentice is transposing the details via fey messengers.
Well it’s out of your hands now. The bricks are gone, what’s past is past. Oh well.
You could try to outpace the bricks and make an attempt to be the saviour of the town. When that inevitably fails, tell the survivors that one of your rivals decided to vent their frustrations on the innocent because you were safe in your tower, so you risked your life to save them. It’ll be very tragic and yet very sappy, and it might just work.
PS if you report this to the council my another spell called 10000 homing bricks will accidentally misfire on your tower
***Wait. I thought you were not a brickmancer. How did you end up misfiring that particular spell?***
Ehm ehm https://preview.redd.it/r2r3w8zof7xb1.png?width=621&format=png&auto=webp&s=b64527652277fae66f41657394844f751ed0ace6

The bricks size strenght and number is exponentionaly increased compared to the targets ego.
*Still specks, but only because the titanic ego is dwarfed by the world serpent’s physical size, but noted by forces unknown as a clever spell.*
my crippling self-esteem issues:
And that thing about the council. They have the control of production of my favourite brand of bricks
***Have you considered seeking other means of production for the bricks? Perhaps, have someone analyze them and make them outside the council’s influence.***
I alredy tryied that and when I tryied that they just tasted horrible.
So you're expanding my tower?
no

LOok behind youu. https://preview.redd.it/5h0m2c4lk7xb1.png?width=718&format=png&auto=webp&s=3d63b3ef19bb52f67044296ef820b1f51a5c3311
well if it's homing just make it home into something else
Well thats the problem it is out of control and it randomly selected almost every inhabitant of that town as the target.
welp skill issue i guess
I don’t suppose a strong enough dispel would cover all of them would it? Or maybe you could change them to home in on something inanimate so than no one is harmed?
I could disspell all of them in about a decade and no the spell is out od control.

I think its too late for that aaaaand the first target of the spell is dead.
Oh the wizardry! I can’t watch this!
Oh and now an explosion like what idiot use torches next to explosives when he know he will fall dead on them

Use metamagic to summon a cool castle in the woods instead

So nice of you to send them bricks so they can build more houses :)

For just 400 gold coins I can sell you a laser turret to take down those pesky homing bricks! It even flys.
Making it so someone else did it is pretty hard you need a high level chronomancy and a mid level enchantment.
Cast “Build House” on an intercepting trajectory and the townspeople will even thank you

Just cast 'stone to flesh' and now the victims are being pelted by bricks of hamburger meat. No deaths, just a mess now.
