spell snapping to enemy

[Desacron]

I am bit frustrated area spells won't let me maximize targets hit because they snap to nearest enemy centering area on them which always excludes targets I could hit if i could cast spell where I want. Anyone know how to stop the spell snapping to enemy for area spells?

Nope, that depends on the spell, straight from the player handbook. Some spells like fireball are area targeted and don't snap. And some are enemy targeted. The latter is the one you describe. That is just how these specific spells work so you can not change that.

I think there's a way to free target.

Nope, it is literally mentioned in the spell description what you can target.

Explain Fireball, then. It's an AoE, and when you go to target an area, it will snap target an enemy. Fireball doesn't require a target.
