Mostly because the spell has the cold descriptor, but isn't dealing cold damage or really even using cold. It's just a regular conjuration. It's just part of the whole conceptual mess that is energy types.What is the point of using Energy Substitution here other than to make it look cool? It doesn't alter the damage.I could see where the fire version would be a column of volcanic rock or something, and maybe the electric version is metal. As a matter of RAW, it would seem to me that changing the descriptor does not change any other mechanical aspect of the spell, so there's still a solid column.</blockquote>
