What happens when you combine Sculpt Spell with Grease and Sticky Floor, making them into cylinders or several cubes? Would this not create a barrier of adhesive/grease that serves as additional impediment supplementing the spell's normal effects? Would weapons firing through them get slowed/stuck?
SCULPT SPELL [METAMAGIC]
You can alter the area of your spells.
Prerequisite: Any metamagic feat.
Benefi t: You can modify an area spell by changing the area’s shape to either a cylinder (10-foot radius, 30 feet high), a 40-foot cone, four 10-foot cubes, a ball (20-foot-radius spread), or a 120-foot line. The sculpted spell works normally in all respects except for its shape. For example, a lightning bolt whose area is changed to a ball deals the same amount of damage, but affects a 20-foot-radius spread. A sculpted spell uses a spell slot one level higher than the spell’s actual level.
STICKY FLOOR
Conjuration (Creation)
Level: Sorcerer/wizard 1
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Area: 10-ft.-by-10-ft. square
Duration: 1 hour/level
Saving Throw: Reflex partial
Spell Resistance: No
For an instant, a translucent sheen that only you can see falls across the area you designate.
Creatures that are within or that enter the area of a sticky floor spell are immediately stuck in place and entangled. A successful Reflex save means the creature can move from its space but is still considered entangled as long as it remains in the area. A creature stuck in place can break loose by using a standard action to make a DC 15 Strength check or Escape Artist check. Each round at the beginning of your turn, any creature within the area must succeed on another Reflex save to avoid becoming stuck in place again.
The effect of this spell even extends through footwear, so merely removing
your boots doesn’t free you from the effect. Creatures not in contact with the surface of the ground (such as flying, burrowing or incorporeal creatures) are unaffected by sticky floor.
As far as I can tell the answer seems to be no according to RAW, as the spell doesn't in any way actually alter the spell's effects, and the spells do not affect objects (like arrows/projectiles) in their area forms.
Oh, and do multiple instances of the same area spell have their effects stack? For example, multiple Sticky Floors affecting one creature?
