If you have a boat in your inventory, can it count for something?

And if the invoker makes a pit BELOW the quicksand, why doesn't it pour into it. Also, how does one fall through quicksand and into a spiked pit, because there's a missing component and Isaac Newton would like to have a word with your floating quicksand. Call it what you will, this stuff is acting more like magic holy jello and glue than quicksand.


Feel free to make something up to explain this phenomena if there can be no improvement.
