Wall of Ice size?

So... I think I'm missing something:

Wall of Ice wrote:


The wall is 1 inch thick per caster level. It covers up to a 10-foot-square area per caster level (so a 10th-level wizard can create a wall of ice 100 feet long and 10 feet high, a wall 50 feet long and 20 feet high, or any other combination of length and height that does not exceed 1,000 square feet).

It says 10-foot-square (meaning 10sqft, not a 10ft x 10ft square, unless I'm forgetting how area works, but then it says that a lvl 10 wizard can create a wall that is no more than 1000sqft, which would seems to have an extra 0.. is this a typo?


A 10 foot square is 10ft x 10ft = 100sqft

You are misreading: "10-foot-square" means "10-foot" squared;

to state 10sqft, you say 10-square-foot. The order matters.

So each caster level covers a 10x10 square (which is 100sqft).

That's what I assumed they meant, but I'm pretty sure geometry teachers would cringe.

EDIT: After digging through all the "10 square foot" things on Google to finally find an example of a 10-meter-square, I found that I'm completely wrong, thanks for helping. ^_^
