[QUOTE="delericho, post: 6436320, member: 22424"] Line [i]of[/i] effect (PHB 176, or the previously linked segment of the SRD). Which is distinct from "Area: 120 ft line" (and similar - [i]lightning bolt[/i], p.248). To quote further from the PHB: "You must have a clear line of effect to any target that you cast a spell on or to any space in which you wish to create an effect (such as conjuring a monster). You must have a clear line of effect to the point of origin of any spell you cast, such as the centre of a [i]fireball[/i]. A burst, cone, cylinder, or emanation spell [b]only affects an area, creatures, or objects to which it has line of effect from its origin[/b] (a spherical burst's centre point, a cone-shaped burst's starting point, a cylinder's circle, or an emanation's point of origin)."

You've quoted [i]some[/i] of the relevant RAW, but missed out the other key bit. Which I have now cited twice and quoted extensively.
