Using stone shape in combat

[daemonslye]

Not sure if this has been answered:

Can a caster use stone shape to enclose an enemy (assuming
they have enough area), say a tube from floor to a low ceiling?

Would the victim get a save?

Thanks,

Well, it does require the caster touch the stone to be worked so I'd allow a Reflex save and an AoO (for casting close since I don't think I'd let the "holding a charge" apply since it isn't an attack, which would prevent movement after the casting)

Ref save would be normal 10+spell level+caster stat.

...I don't think I'd let the "holding a charge" apply since it isn't an attack...

Actually, you can hold the charge regardless of whether or not the spell in question constitutes an attack form, attack spell, etc. So long as it's a touch spell, you can hold the charge. Stone Shape meets that requirement.

I'd probably give a save to allow the victim to escape before he's trapped. I've also used the spell on the floor to send the creature down to the next level.
