Thank you to everyone that answered here. I using the solution that the player can place the AoE wherever but if they are using an imprecise sense only and forget where the enemies are, then they have to guess at the placement and might catch allies.

Can you cast a fireball or gravity well or any other similar while blind by simply stating a direction and distance?

I have a problem with this if the answer is yes. Because based on what I have read fireball and gravity well just appear at the point you choose. There is no effect coming from you that would be blocked by a solid obstruction. Meaning you can just designate a fireball to explode on the other side of any opaque object. Line of effect for spells like these comes from the point of origin of the effect and not the caster.

Material and focus components specifically say you must have a free hand to use them. Somatic says you can be holding an item but cannot be restrained or otherwise unable to gesture freely. Does wielding a 2H weapon, or wielding two 1H weapons, count as being unable to gesture freely?
