Wall of Force

[kingcat123]

Apologies as I'm sure this has been discussed before, but:

I need some help with the limits of how I can arrange a Wall of Force. The book says:

The caster can form the wall into a flat, vertical plane whose area is up to one 10-foot square per level. The wall must be continuous and unbroken when formed."

The Wall of Ice has a similar description.

I'm just wondering if it can be made thicker. The Wall of Ice seems to say no but the wording

up to one 10 ft. square /level

seems to imply that you can arrange it as if you had 10 ft. square blocks.

Help. Matter of life and death (for a character).

I'm confused by your question. Are you asking if a Wall of Force can be thicker?

If that is your question, no, but then again why? Its a Wall Of Force, thickness doesn't play into what it is supposed to provide.

How would this be life or death for a PC?

I'm asking about the Wall of Force because it has the same wording as another wall spell from a non-Pathfinder source, specifically the Curtain of Shadow from the 3.5 Tome of Magic. I was trying to see if it could be placed on a red dragon so he would take damage twice. Once on the initial placement and once as he moved out of it. If I could make it thicker than he would be moving through it to get out of it but if it's only 10' thick my DM says he will not take damage as he leaves.

It's up to your DM but I'd say no. It's not the intent of the spell IMO.
