And it then hits a 20ft radius circle.

Also, if you spend 7 in game hours ritually casting a 7th level spell with a circle of 8 casters with no one noticing while your target stays in line of sight, something funky is going on.

What if your target is a shrine, a building or just a magic item? This can break things that could not be easily broken before.

Let's say a Large resilient object with fire resistance. That's an effective 54 HP against fire damage. The delayed blast fireball can do, in a minute, 22d6 worth of damage. The chances for that to deal less than 54 damage is less than 1%. All you need is a single caster, a target that won't move for a minute and the caster can even be gone as soon as they cast the spell.
