Off hand I don't think there is a specific size limit for a pyramid to work. Though one could take the sizes listed for MDC as an indication.

No a Pyramid could not be used to move a Nexus Point or Ley Line.

While a pyramid itself cannot move a nexus point I am intrigued by your idea here.

What would happen if a Nazca Line Mage and a Stone Master got together?

in theory a portable pyramid on a nexus could be the result...

No, the writeup for stone pyramids clearly has the smallest available size as 100 feet tall to control the nexus energy. page 104 of the Atlantis book

If we're talking mobile pyramids, the most flexible I could see here is some kind of 100ft pyramid-on-wheels (or somehow make it float) so that it could travel up and down a ley line or turn on nexus intersections. Could not move energy from where it's fixed (though Nazca can make new lines or extend existing ones) but I'm not sure if pyramids have to be fixed or not.

Course I have no idea how much a pyramid (even the smallest) weighs and how much energy it'd take to transport something like that.

I'm reminded of something out of Mutants in the Yucatan. Didn't they have flying pyramids? Or were those just platforms?
