Are there any feats that add new Area alternatives to spells like Sculpt Spell and Widen Spell do? 1st, 2nd, or 3rd party is fine, but please do mention where we can find them, generally what they do, and whether they're 1st party or not, as well as 3e or PF1e.

Thanks!

Sculpt Spell (3e CArc): Cylinder (10' radius, 30' high), a 40' cone, four 10' cubes, a ball (20' radius spread), or a 120' line.
Widen Spell (3e PHB): Doubles Area of a burst, emanation, line, or spread.
Ocular Spell (3e LoM): Turns spell into a ray with a 60' Range.

War Magic Study (3e 3rd party, DrMag#309): Becomes a 60' burst or spread if under 20', else it becomes a 100' radius.

I'd ask about Range alternatives, but I don't think those are quite as useful or as interesting.

Chain spell in complete arcane? Not exactly an area but it can take a spell from 1 target to CL targets, which is pretty substantial.

And not a feat, but Archmage can take Mastery of Shaping as a High Arcana.

Pathfinder has:

Selective Spell (exclude a number of squares from an area effect)
Magic Trick: Fireball (make Fireball smaller but more damaging)
Lingering Spell (turn an instantaneous spell into a longer-lasting zone effect)
