[.98][GAMEPLAY/BUG?] raise & lower land spell oddities

from Elemental Forums

Was trying to use them to get to a minor city that was completely blocked-off from normal access by ocean & mountains.  Lowed several mountain squares and raised ocean, trying to blast a path to the city. 

Mostly, the game would not let me step onto my new plains squares even though it looked like they ought to be passable.  Bug ?  (I think I could get in to some, but not all, after exiting & restarting, but I might be mistaken).

2nd, it would not permit me to cast onto squares with the city's area of influence.  Guess this might be a deliberate design choice, but I thought it ought to be permitted.

Oh, was wondering why I couldn't lower land next to my city.

I'm stringing out my cities a great deal already to expand my area of influence to capture mines and other resources from adjacent empires. Guess I'll have to see if I can do the same to get a harbor built.
