[Fix Needs Testing 69313] Casting Area Bug - Obsidian Panopticon - Unable to Cast Area Range Spells

1) Title - Unable to cast range spells
2) Reproducible? Yes
3) Blocker? No - just makes it very difficult for ranged spell casters to fight with limited area you can cast in.
4) Details: So it appears wherever in this area I posted pics and locations, if you are casting in the area where you take cold damage you are unable to cast these ranged area spells. You can fight with melee combat, or any direct range spells / archery, etc. It is only area spells such as Ring of Fire, Fireball, Meteor, etc. Any that gives the cast grid of where you will cast your spell. In these locations its nearly half of the valley between mountains on either side and is not even close to the edge of zone. This makes it very difficult when fighting because you are limited on where you can cast spells. Most fighting requires a lot of kiting, especially for mages since we can't all face tank these 30k+ hp mobs that deal half our health in dmg per hit if they crit.

5) Loc: (-119.032,81.250,-112.581)


Loc (-119.068,81.321,-136.272)

Loc (-122.490,80.936,-113.651)


5) Steps to Reproduce - Simple! Go to these locations and try casting area spells such as Ring of Fire, Fireball, etc. in the area towards these coordinates where you take cold damage. You don't have to be standing in the cold damage for this to happen, merely cast in the area that deals cold damage should reproduce this.
