It is round (in the sense of spherical, not circular). That said, the fireball will conform to the space in which it is detonated. So it fills a volume equal to that of the 20' radius sphere, which is 33,500 cubic feet or about 950 cubic meters.To give an extreme example, if a magic user were to detonate a fireball 50 m away in a very long corridor with no side passages that was 3m wide and 3m tall, he will burn himself. The fire will come rushing down the corridor, filling it from wall to wall and floor to ceiling (like in an action movie) for over 50 m from the detonation point both ways down the corridor.</blockquote>
