Hey guys, I had a few things that I needed clarified for my wizard. The main confusion I am having comes from when a spell says something along the lines of, "... A place you can see". Here are two examples;
Misty step - "Briefly surrounded by silvery mist, you teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space that you can see."
Dominate Person - "You attempt to beguile a humanoid that you can see within range."
So my question to you all is this; if you are using something besides your own personal senses, such as looking through the eyes of a familiar, can you still cast those spells even if you cannot personally see the target/location?
For example; you are leaning against a tavern wall on the outside, and your cat familiar is inside the tavern. You are looking through its eyes. Could you Misty Step to any spot within 30 feet of yourself, using your familiars senses? Likewise, could you Dominate Person on somebody you cannot see, but your familiar can?
Next question; to make full use of your action economy could you ready a spell (say plane shift, with the trigger being whenever you appear beside a target you release the spell), run into the room using your 30 foot movement, bonus action misty step across the room to your target, then trigger your readied reaction?
