[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 9660617, member: 29398"] No worries. This is, if there's only a window (or a Wall of Force) between me and the target I [I]can[/I] see the target point. Now with something like [I]Fireball[/I] it's obvious the spell will wreck on the unseen obstruction as the little bead has to go from the caster to the origin point. And if the spell starts at the caster, such as [I]Burning Hands[/I], then again the invisible obstruction blocks it. But that's not true of all spells. Take [I]Flaming Sphere[/I], for instance. Or [I]Light[/I]. Or [I]Hold Person[/I]. I cast it here, sure, but the effect happens over there at a point or target I can see, and as nothing physical has to travel from me (the caster) to the spell's point of origin then casting it through a WoF or a closed transparent window should IMO work. It's unfortunate that the two spells they name there - [I]Burning Hands[/I] and [I]Cone of Cold[/I] - both originate from the caster; this doesn't help with spells whose point of origin is remote from the caster.
