Lathe Extrusion Closed to Point?

Hey guys, I have a question.

I have a object which is spinning around a sphere and I want to create a motion trail effect by having a shape following it with neon color and fading.

The shape I’m looking for is a lathe from a square to about 1/4 revolutions.

Tricky part is that I want the lathe to become smaller in scale until it finally comes to a point at it’s end.

Kind of like a long sideways pyramid following the curve of the sphere.

Is this possible with the LatheExtrusion? Or should I try something else like the PathExtrusion?

I would use PathExtrude because you can pass optional scalefactors per segment.
