    I've never liked arbitrary spell targeting restrictions. I say if you want to fire blindly around cover or into a fog cloud you should be able to.

    Most of the time I think it's because the spell calls for a saving throw and there isn't a mechanic for what a wall's Con save ought to be. That's not a unsolvable problem by any means, but I assume that's why the restrictions exist

      I'd argue you can 'see' the wall if you place something on it, like: - your hand - your frontline's hand (or some other body part) - a ghost's hand - flour, dust, tar, enemies' blood, coughing syrup, and other things that could stick to the surface - gecko, spider, and other creatures that wouldn't fall off; probably also your familiar

        I think spells that target the spirit of a target shouldn't be able to be fired blind - that's what i would let it depend on. A cold ray doesn't need a visible target, but everything mind affecting that is not AoE will need it.

          No. If we assume that you have to target the wall it would at the very least stop after destroying the wall. But by RAW, you can’t even cast it on something behind the wall, because you cannot target something (or someone) with a spell if they are behind total cover. Total cover is created by being behind completely behind an obstacle (like a wall). This counts even if the obstacle is invisible. Furthermore, because if you chose an invalid target for a spell, you'd still expend the spellslot but there would be no effect. So you actually spend a sixth level spell a lot to achieve nothing. I would not recommend doing it this way, but that’s what the rules say.

          And this is why my group is ok saying "that rule is profoundly dumb" and ignoring it while suspecting Crawford of being involved.

              I've specifically focused on means that don't require a spell slot to use. Left familiar as an exception because people like to have them anyway and it can be ritual cast.

                            Crawford also rules that See Invisibility doesn't remove the advantage/disadvantage on attack rolls because it doesn't say so in the spell's effect, so... Yeah, I always ignore what he says.

                                By that logic you can see air because there's clouds in the sky.

                                      Technically it only refers to visible creatures. Objects doesnt have the adjective visible. Unlikely, but a particularly bull headed person could read this as though detect magic could identify invisible objects.

                                        If you can target an invisible wall, it introduces a lot of ways for things to go wrong. The spell caster is taking elements on faith and making assumptions, and those can be subverted...

                                          I would go line of fire logic. You theoretically can not target the wall, but you can target something on the outerside and will then hit the wall instead
