[1.4] Spells bounce against walls without hitting them

[AndreaColombo]

When casting a spell through a doorway or passage (i.e. not out in the open), the spell often happens to bounce against walls that it doesn't actually hit.

REPRO STEPS:

Load the saved game; you'll find yourself in Lle a Rhemen in front of a doorway.

Select Aloth.

Cast the second level spell "Rolling Flame" in a straight line in front of you.

Observe that upon reaching the doorway, the spell bounces against the pillar even though it doesn't actually hit it (and it shouldn't, since a straight line in front of Aloth is actually clear).

Hello, AndreaColombo.  I could not get this to reproduce in our newest build.  I must have cast Rolling Flame 50 times and never did get it to bounce where it shouldn't.  There is a small spot next to the pillars that it bounces off of without quite hitting them, but you can see from trying to move there that the collision mesh is also there.  If you can move to the area, the spell will be able to move there too.  Thanks for your support!
