If he can see you, he can make a Spellcraft roll to identify what spell you're casting, if it's not obvious after you've finished.Unless it's a wall of force, he's lost his line of sight to the target, which is chosen when the spell is completed. He is under no obligation to stay with the now unreachable target. Of course, if you've boxed him in, he may have no good choice, which is a different issue entirely (since you said 'in front of' not 'around'). You are either interrupting his spell, which means that you can't fool him into casting a fireball into a wall that wasn't there when he started, or you are waiting until he's finished, in which case the fireball is already in the air and flying by the time you're wall comes into place. It's a cute trick, but it's not infallible, and unless the sorceror's stuck in a corner, not likely to work as effecitvely as you might hope.</blockquote>
