Squaring the circle allows you to alter the shape of the area of effect of one spell of 1st through 5th level. The spell to be affected must be cast within the duration of the Squaring the Circle spell.
Square or cubic area of effect can be transformed into circular or spherical area of effect. Circular or spherical areas of effect can likewise be transformed into square or cubic areas of effect. In both cases, the length of a side of a square area is equated to the diameter of a circular or spherical area.
Alternatively, a square or cubic area can be transformed into a rectangle. The rectangle cannot cover more or less square-footage than the standard square area of the spell.
Similarly, a circular or spherical area of effect can be transformed into an oval or egg shape. The area covered by the oval or egg shape cannot cover more or less square-footage than the original area of the spell.
