Alright, that's good, then.

In the meantime, I should also mention (as someone asked in the IC earlier): yes, the option to build up giant citadels from nothing is an option.
And no, you won't be forced into manual labor to craft it up in this new world because magical tools are freaking amazing.

So yes, in theory, you could buy out entire towns or cities and/or create fortresses from nowhere if you've got enough money and tools.
Hiring the staff, though... Well, you'll see if we ever get around to it.
