"do something with the air in someone's lungs" is so powerful and boring that most fantasy settings have specific rules to prevent it.
Sorry, someone's gotta be that person
Most GMs would rule against this as well, since e.g. create or destroy water could just kill anyone instantly (except maybe constructs, undead, etc)
dnd already has the "you have to be be able to see where you're casting" requirement on most spells, but considering none of the ideas in the original screenshot are possible in RAW, I'm going to assume this would be some bizarre powertripping homebrew where every idea players propose goes without argument.
Right, I kinda took it as a given that this was a "let me try out my cool idea" situation and therefore necessitating a gm ruling. Either that or some OSR rules-lite d&d variant where RAW doesn't specifically exclude those shenanigans.
ATLA/TLOK didn't, as Zaheer and the Earth Queen found out.
