You keep doing that to older DnD players too, except you drop hints that the enemies are in a cult that has been giving them power and when the wizard does fireball them, the wizard gets hit by a dozen hellish rebukes from all the young warlocks they just hit.
-
... That's the most evil thing I've ever seen
-
Does hellish rebuke activate after though? Cause if the caster is likely to be killed I would take that bet
-
But then you also give them terrain that would allow a clever wizard to position themself such that they can see the epicenter of the fireball without having line of sight to the targets themselves
-
Honestly, if they caught the hint, understood what it meant, and took action, that would be a miracle and would totally be worth some cheese.

"I didn't ask how big the room was, I said I cast fireball!"

Counterpoint: the first enemy we faced after I got fireball was an enemy with fire resistance. My DM had a good laugh when I discovered that and I'm still mourning that spell slot.

Cleric, interrupting: I CAST SHATTER!!!!!!

You should be letting the 500th timers have a little fun too.
MGF FTW!

Fireball is a hell of a drug.
Fireball: Not even once.
You're talking mad shit for someone in Fireball range
I toyed with allowing my players to use the fireball by volume incorrect rule (as it's not all that well defined in the 3.5 ed we play)
It is as dangerous to the caster as the enemies, especially in a group that neglects to check the ceiling height of dungeons
