As per the basic set page 101 : "12’ high, should volume matter". 12' everywhere (which is 4 yards, not two).

Most of these are answered in the description of the Wall Enhancement, page 109. The height is as per page 101 (12' tall). To put it in any shape you want, you need to take the second level of wall, who's ONLY point is to let you put it in any shape you want.

"You get a three-yard-long by one-yard-wide wall per yard of radius in your area." (emphasis mine) - so for an attack that normally doesn't have an Area (all of them, I think), one level of Area of Effect gives you 2 yards of radius, so 6x1 of wall. Two levels of AOE gives you 4yards, so 12x1. Three levels of AOE gives you 8 yards, so 24x1.

Search in the Basic Set ;) The PDF version is really handy, and you can get it from e23.
