Area Effect and Wall height

[Not another shrubbery]

And now I'm REALLY lost - how does changing the height make the radius somehow different from the standard AE enhancement?

Refplace has it. I am assuming that the volume is fixed for a given level of AE, so that to increase the height by a factor of X, you need to reduce the radius by a factor of |sqrtX|.

Obviously, I will not be getting any articles approved for publishing anytime soon... I learned at the same school as Calvin :/
