    there are two visualizations for what fireball looks like when cast
    one is throwing a small orb that rapidly expands into a much bigger ball upon impact with a surface
    the other is looking at a spot, waving your hand/ pointing and then yelling at it, and having it spontaneously detonate with no other warning

    Tip: Fireball's real AOE is actually 40. fireball has a radius of 20 feet. a radius is the point from the center of a sphere to the edge, meaning that fireball actually has an AOE (or Diameter) of a 40 foot sphere. Tell this to your DM to make them regret their life choices.

    that's not how wizards monetize their spell
    the spell fee is diamonds wort X amount of gold (or similar) and when casted, it get's teleported to the wizard owning the rights

    Actually the way fireball is cast is the caster sends a tiny spark that explodes. 🤓
