So if he closed the door, the caster would not be able to point at it. However what we have is a open door and a wall that blocks line of effect anyway so closing the door shouldnt matter.Which leads me to these 3 questions.Should the globe really require line of effect? This means it has to be a straight line to the target without obstacles. Which means the wizard could do it if he were blind in a open room! So why should it matter if the wall was even there. "A burning globe of fire rolls in whichever direction you point and burns those it strikes"Questions about line of effectCan the caster send his globe around a corner?If he was blind could he no longer point at the sphere to move it even if it was right in front of him?A burning globe of fire rolls in whichever direction you point and burns those it strikes. It moves 30 feet per round. As part of this movement, it can ascend or jump up to 30 feet to strike a target. If it enters a space with a creature, it stops moving for the round and deals 2d6 points of fire damage to that creature, though a successful Reflex save negates that damageLine of Effect: A line of effect is a straight, unblocked path that indicates what a spell can affect. A line of effect is canceled by a solid barrier. It’s like line of sight for ranged weapons, except that it’s not blocked by fog, darkness, and other factors that limit normal sight.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. You must have a clear line of effect to the point of origin of any spell you cast. A burst, cone, cylinder, or emanation spell affects only an area, creatures, or objects to which it has line of effect from its origin (a spherical burst’s center point, a cone-shaped burst’s starting point, a cylinder’s circle, or an emanation’s point of origin).An otherwise solid barrier with a hole of at least 1 square foot through it does not block a spell’s line of effect. Such an opening means that the 5-foot length of wall containing the hole is no longer considered a barrier for purposes of a spell’s line of effect.</blockquote>
