That's too restrictive, apparently, so there has to be no description of how a spell works so that every player can describe how it works in their own way. You'll note how the 2014 MM provided no descriptions of the monsters for DMs to read aloud. I'm pretty sure only giants got average heights listed in the book. Yeah, sure, there's a set look for every creature in the artwork, but not every creature got a picture. I can only speak for myself here, but I find it easier to be creative when I have some guidance rather than when I have to make it all up from scratch. I would much prefer that WotC provide some descriptive elements to monsters, spells, class features, etc. Better to have something to work with than nothing at all, which is generally what we get these days.</blockquote>
