Hello
I am planning to make a staircase that goes into the wall and up to my loft bed. It will be freestanding steps. The steps will only be attached to the wall individually.
My wall consists of 3cm plaster and then brick (I'm sure it's brick). From what I understand, there's about 30 cm of brick.
Will the wall support about 100-120kg per step (I would like to have some margin)?
Is it enough to make sure I have a nail, screw, rebar that is sufficiently long and thick? And then drill into the wall and secure it with some plug or something?

If you make a console variant and don't make them too long, it should probably work, also depends on what material you use for the actual steps. I wouldn't have done it like that.
