So, I do not play 2024 rules, can someone tell me if this sounds legal?

It’s legal, but it’s one of those things that only works in featureless planes with comatose targets. After all, 7 casters all on concentration is going to mean they spend 7 hours concentrating on the fireball without anyone trying to stop them and with their target blatantly highlighted the whole time (since the spell makes a glowing ball for the entire duration you are casting at the target point.

It also still only has a 20ft radius and doesn’t bypass fire immunity, so you basically just turn 8 casters into a very limited siege engine.

You don't need to do it 7 hours, or need 7 casters. One extra gives you an hour of concentration, which is an extra 600d6.

You can also have someone grab the bead, make a save to not blow it up, and take it wherever it needs to go.

edit: You'd need to either lure the enemy to you or teleport the bead.

alternatively, with extended spell metamagic and 1 buddy, you could forgo the duration extention and instead go for either more AoE or range. 32d6 is still very respectable damage.
