How does shapeable work with something like <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/controlWater.htm" target="_blank">Control Water</a>?  I've been interpreting it as saying that you could affect a smaller area than desired; a 100 x 200 x 40 foot area instead of the 200 x 200 x 40; that would still be "squarish."  But you couldn't make a series of troughs in the area, or selectively lower areas to produce a lot of little 10-ft. square "pillars" or whatever.  Now I'm not so sure.<a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/earthquake.htm" target="_blank">Earthquake</a> is also shapeable, and it is even less clear how that would work.  Again I'd suppose that you could affect a smaller area than desired, but you only have one "dial" to control; the radius of the spread.  Can you be more selective than that?  Can you spare particular squares of ground?How would you interpret these spells?</blockquote>
