Can the spell stone shape be used to entrap a creatures legs?
What if the creature is not moving (helpless? entangled?)?
If prepared correctly, could this not be used to create a pit
(using multiple castings), then cover said pit and finally, a
readied stone shape to drop someone crossing it (assume this is
an at-will ability); If creatures were climbing, could stone shape
be used to turn rough walls to slick (I assume yes); Assume up to
18cu feet could be affected. What other ideas could be used?
Spikes on the floor? Falling stalactites (assume the caster is climbing
or flying to touch the ceiling)? Could a stone cage be made? Does
stoneshape affect the "brittleness" of stone? Are craft checks
necessary (think a 1cm thick covering created over a pit; how to
make it so it does not collapse under its own weight but will if any
other is applied; is this "fine detail")? Could a tube be created
around a caster with a 1ft hole at eye level (line of effect open
to enemies)?

PHB.p.284 STONE SHAPE -
You can form an existing piece of stone
into any shape that suits your purpose. For
example, you can make a stone weapon, a
special trapdoor, or a crude idol. Stone shape
also permits you to reshape a stone door to
make an exit where one didn’t exist or to
seal a door shut. While it’s possible to
make crude coffers, doors, and so forth
with stone shape, fine detail isn’t possible.
There is a 30% chance that any shape
including moving parts simply doesn’t
work.
