Comments good or bad are appreciated!
This imposing tower is based upon the Tower of High Sorcery that is located in the city of Palanthas, set in the Dragonlance world.
The design that I based this build on is found in the book “Atlas of the Dragonlance World”. I have seen extract on the web, but I expect reproducing it breaks copyright law…
The main structure is composed of nether stone that suits the atlas’ description of the stone work very nicely. The tower was red streaked white marble, after the tower was cursed it turned black. The tower is topped by three “blood red” minarets. I have improvised; the two side towers are topped with redstone lamps and redstone blocks, the central one topped with red stained glass. The main tower contains two rooms for apprentices and the master’s rooms (with hidden library and enchanting room). At the top of the tower is the laboratory. The laboratory would not fit in the “neck" of the tower so it sits in the top most minaret. The walkway around the outside is known as “death walk”. The tower has been left hollow to allow additional rooms to be added - with inhabitants (aka villagers). BTW the internal lava stream has nothing to do with the original design - I just liked it.
The tower is surrounded by the cursed "Shoikan Grove" composed of a “haunted stand of tall oak trees”. I have added a few curious structures in the grove for effect.
The schematic is available, but I have also placed it in a world near a village, desert temple and ravine as a great starting location. I wanted the tower to be near civilisation… someone need to work there - right!
Things I could add:
If I get chance I would like to include the “Chamber of Seeing” beneath the tower, with access via a water elevator via the pool in the grounds.

I expected a grander entrance for such tower, two wooden doors with an air lock/vent above doesn't fit really for this kind of tower.
Use/try more different blocks only the same block isn't going to work. With different blocks even it is one different you can add patterns to the tower to give it more detail.
The spare interior what you did is nice especially the top room. The main stairway is nice although I rather not walk their personally. The only thing is that there is a lot of unused space in it.
The texture/resource-pack makes the build look better so nice choice on that and the background where the build came from is also nice, it gives it more depht.
Hope you can do somehting with this feedback.
