Feb 5, 2022 at 1:19 comment added ValhallaGH @ESCE Stairs have the same shape condition as a box. The vertical risers and horizontal runners are oriented along different planes, yet stairs are an explicit use of the spell. A box has four vertical walls, changing direction at corners as the caster dictates, and a horizontal 'lid'. (But not bottom, due to collision with feet.)
Feb 5, 2022 at 0:38 comment added ESCE That still doesn't address the "twisting" question. I'm aware (and agree) that 90 degree turns are fine. But to complete the box with a lid, you'd have to do a 90 degree turn into a new dimension. If that makes any sense?
Feb 4, 2022 at 22:38 comment added Chemus @ESCE The 'set of stairs' example shows that it can fold at 90 degrees, and making a box follows all the other rules.
Feb 4, 2022 at 19:50 comment added ESCE It's less of the "vertical standing" that confuses me, and more of whether it can change orientation. The vertical standing clause seems to be about the creation of stairs and bridges, both of which are horizontal standing, and both of which do not involve twisting. Maybe I'm just overthinking it, which is possible, this iteration of the spell seems much more open ended than the other editions I've used it in.
