Well from the " rising above any blocking terrain" I would assume that it
means from the terrain that is infront of it. But the "trace a line of fire
over it when it shoots" I would assume it can still hit anything on the field.

In old epic(titan legions) we had a house rule that it could not see things
directly behind buildings and such and I will probably carry it over to this
one as well.
