Circle/Ring on spheres

The most common interpretation of ring/circle seems to be that it affects a sphere defined by the size of the ring.

I'm not sure that is a common interpretation. I've never considered a 6ft tall man to only be protected from the waist down if he's standing in circular ward with a 3ft diameter.
My view has always been of a column with a somewhat undefined height. If a target fully fits within the area then it's covered height wise, this applies wether its a pancake or a step ladder. When dealing with amorphous targets it should be a case by case basis with "not to silly" as the goal.

That being said a glass sphere with it's circumference marked as the boundary of the spell is okay in my book for most effects. Though I've used buckets, bottles and cups myself.

In ArM5 corebook the various ward spells were described to have slight visual cue shaped like dome with one colour or another.
But if that is true for all cirlce spells or just speciality of wards, or even merely cosmetic effect...
