Provided that you have some way of knowing this will work in the first
place, the obvious way to make the carborundum and shape it is with a
Polymorph Any Object spell.  You could find out how to do it by evoking any
of the demons who give "Knowledge of Sciences" as one of their boons.  (See
any medieval grimoire.)  The light source could be a shuttered receptacle of
some sort with multiple Continual Light spells cast within it.
