For Challenge # 151. The odd wording is an attempt to get some players to huck Lobbing Fireballs at styrofoam ceiling tiles, have them stick there, and hopefully have them randomly fall in the middle of a game... potentially by throwing another card that's to be thrown at them.
Otherwise the card could always make a reasonable Ass Whuppin'... especially for a team game.
Seven feet sounds pretty rough, but I did say using one's physical abilities as a skill. I also think your choice of using human is funny, if only because I'm picturing someone catching the card and claiming to be an otherkin.
I presumed most people would stand when lobbing the fireball. Seven feet is just a foot or two above most people's heads. A table is a pretty large target, after all.
Also, if you can train a parrot to catch a Magic card in mid-lob, you deserve all the ice cream in the world.
...oh! I assumed it meant seven feet above the table. Which seemed difficult -- if the table is three ft high, not all rooms ARE 10ft tall.
