[QUOTE="ClaytonCross, post: 7420467, member: 6880599"] Well its relevant to the respect of it being an evocation cantrip spell with two qualities that make it stand out for being a good choice for Potent Cantrip and as a result making it worth using. Its also not really an errata. Its rules as intended from the beginning, he stated that you must see it and the intent was always that it comes down behind cover as if from the sky voiding any blockage between you and it. So seeing a target behind wall of force or through a tiny crack in the wall with full cover is in fact what the spell was made for from the beginning. He did mention in the same spill that this is commonly over looked and he wishes he had clarified it more particularly for those who might not speak English as their first language and might miss the nuance. I speak English as a first language and I missed until it was pointed out by another player at my table. "Flame-like radiance [B]descends on a creature that you can see[/B] within range. The target must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 1d8 radiant damage. [B]The target gains no benefit from cover[/B] for this saving throw. [/QUOTE]
