Wall of Fire & Visibility

[Acit Cratna]

I have a question about the spell 'Wall of Fire' that I haven't been able to find an answer to.

Can you see through it?
Do you have line of sight to something that is on the other side of the wall from you?

The Spell Description states that the wall is 20 feet high but states nothing about blocking visibility so I was curious.
Do the flames flicker so much that you ARE able to see through? Does that amount of heat produce too strong a flame to really do any flickering?
Does the heat itself cause so many waves in the air that everything on the other side of the wall is blurred?

Actually, in the Effects entry it's described as opaque. Opaque means light does not pass through it. If light doesn't pass through it, you can't see through it.

By RAW, it has zero effect on visibility.


Effect: Opaque sheet of flame

Hooray for spell descriptions! You can't see through it, it completely blocks visibility.

*boo, I had typed all this up and then walked away for a day :/

Still, I'm a bit shocked only one other person caught the oversight.

Ah! I see it now. Thanks so much for pointing that out, I totally missed it.
