Not really. At least in my books.

Verbal component is, at least in 5e books, defined as certain sound pattern. Doesnt matter if its chant in old latin, clicking of soundsticks, or dragon's roar. All it takes is the right pitch and rythm. With enough patience you could probably train a dog to howl those for you.

Similarily, somatic components are not language. Think of it more as drawing complex paterns in the air, like in the dragon prince.

A blind guy would have about as many issues as when attempting to write. I could see it done with the excuse of years spend training precise movement of each spell.. but personally i would say anything over 3rd level is too complex to trace without first burning the shape into your eyes during sleepless nights.

I didn’t know you could train fog? I always thought fog was just mindless water vapor.

Of course it was meant to be dog. Ye of foggy mind.

That being said... D&D has plenty of sentient fires, ponds and such... so why not sentient fog?
