OK, I got my Book of Magecraft handy. Here goes

{{
5th Level Caster
Stronghold
Conjuration/Summoning
Regency: Special
Gold: 10GB
Required Source: 7
Duration: 3 action rounds/caster level

By means of this spell, the wizard conjureds up a castle, tower, fortification, or
building of any kind. The RP cost is equal to the Gold Bard cost of constructing
an equivalent stronghold, but difficult or remote terrain doesn't affect the
magicla version. For example, a castle (3) normally costs 30 Gold Bars; this
realm spell can do the same for 30RP, regardless of where the castle is placed.

The wizard can make the construction permanent with a permanency spell, but he
ages 10 years in the process. The wizard can dismiss the stronghold any time he
wishes. If he dies without the castle being made permanent, it fades from
existence.

There you go.

My only problem with this is that it doesn't make any provision for Elven wizards
to cast it. (An elf ageing 10 years, whoop-de-doo).

And remember you can also cast royal facade on a stronghold created building, but
the royal facade will only last 3 action rounds (even if it is a permanent one
IMO) as opposed to permanently if cast on a real building.

And don't forget scions with long life. 10 years to the Gorgon is a drop in
the bucket.

I just keep it simple and say, "That's one advantage of being blooded/an elf."
