I've never had call to use either LE/SON so don't know them so well to figure out their 'how to's.  But you have a good grasp.  Looks like LE will be out but Son should be good to work with based on Size varation.  
Course one could invent a Earth Powers spell or use combination of a spell like Avalanche to move earth as well.  

Good luck.
