I would agree with you there.... Otherwise an emanation would only affect your own square at 10th level!Ogrork the Mighty said:It does not (that was one of the first things I checked too).
The spell is control temperature from Frostburn (p. 92). It lists the area as, "20 cu. ft./level emanation, centered on you." There's nothing in the Frostburn errata.
I'm thinking it's gotta be a typo and should read, "20 ft. radius/level emanation..."
