Druid Spell - Beanstalk

I'm WAY behind (100+ messages so) but I figured I'd
toss out another of the spells I've been working on.

Beanstalk
Transmutation 
Level: Druid 4
Components: V, S, M, DF
Casting Time: 10 minutes
Range: Touch
Target: Special (see below)
Duration: 1 hour/level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

You cause an enormous beanstalk to burst out of the
ground and grow straight up to a height that it
pierces the atmosphere of the planet.  A circular
platform, 20 feet in diameter, is created under the
feet of the caster, and is carried along with the
beanstalk.  The platform remains perfectly level
during the entire trip from a planet’s surface to low
orbit.  The beanstalk grows at a rate of 80’ per round
until it reaches wildspace or the caster commands it
to stop growing.  On a standard terrestrial world, it
would take about 8 hours to reach orbit.  The platform
creates a bubble of air around it such that protects
everyone on the platform from the effects of wind and
thin air.  The beanstalk remains for one hour per
level of the caster.  Once the spell ends, the
beanstalk vanishes, stranding the anything on the
platform in wildspace.  The Beanstalk spell is
commonly used to travel from the surface of a planet
to an awaiting ship in orbit.  The beanstalk can lift
up to 200 lbs of material or passengers per level of
the caster.

The beanstalk spell can also be destroyed by
inflicting 100 points of damage to any single section
of the beanstalk.  Each section grows with the plant,
so a section at ground level will be 80’ in the air at
the start of the next round.  The beanstalk has
hardness 5.  Doing so ends the spell, causing it to
vanish.  If the beanstalk has not reached full height,
anyone on the platform falls back to the ground to
suffer falling damage, as determined by the height
they were at.

Material Components: Three beans.
