Wall of Atmos is a magic that uses much more magical power than [Land preparation] or [Soil improvement], and it can't be used by those with little magical power, or can be used only a few times. As long as you are aware of the location of the pre-built defensive walls and are careful about being divided by the walls, I don't think it will be much of a problem."
