In 5e most spells are designed to only hurt creatures. This list of spells is probably helpful to those who want to try to damage objects by magic.
Damaging objects by weapon attack are covered in this thread above

@thorsman99 please read that again, I'm going to stay consistent with this ruling. Ray of frost can't target cauldron or destroy an object. You will need to throw/hurl/swing/etc something at it

Ack. Sorry for old brain. Will adjust.

The spell list is about damaging a carried or worn object but we are applying it to all objects? That means spells like Spiritual Weapon and Eldritch Blast don't damage objects like cauldrons even though they are force magic if I understand you correctly so I guess I go try to beat on it.

The list is just a useful resource. What I ask you is to read your spell description. Fire bolt say
Quote:
You hurl a mote of fire at a creature or object within range. 
While Eldritch Blast for example say
Quote:

A beam of crackling energy streaks toward a creature within range

Fair enough; spiritual weapon also says "creature." Thanks.

Invisibility being lazy I found this on on internet and seems like it perfectly describe how I want to rule it

If you have not taken the Hide Action or otherwise rolled a stealth check while invisible then creatures know exactly where you are without making any sort of perception check. You will still be unseen though so any attack rolls against you are at disadvantage.

[ +- ] Attack of opportunity
[ +- ] Prone
Conclusion: neither prone nor grappled conditions prevent you from doing AOO. The attack is at a disadvantage though.
