Frostbolt + Ice Nova

Hi there,

I noticed that when I cast a Frostbolt and then an Ice Nova while the Forstbolt is travelling on screen the nova appears where the Frostbolt is rather than my character.

Is this something that should be happening?

Harder to get a screenshot than I thought

Frostbolt is an especially potent skill when used with the existing Ice Nova skill. Normally, Ice Nova releases a large, icy burst around the player. Now, if you've got a Frostbolt skill in flight, casting Ice Nova while targeting near a Frostbolt will cause the Nova to be cast from the Frostbolt's location, rather than the player's location. This lets you deploy Ice Nova's considerable area damage at long ranges, avoiding the dangers of close combat that Ice Nova usually puts you in.

Ah!
Ice nova taregting on frostbolt on ps5 doesn't work. Think as ps5 has no cursor on screen to target frostbolt. Anyone found a workaround?
Are you using the transfigured version? I'm not sure it works like this any longer with the standard version of ice nova?

Ice Nova of Frostbolts, or Vortex of Projection may be needed.

If it is a specific deficiency for ps5 cursor, i'm not sure of a work around. Console or Skill page sections might also be somewhere to look on the forum, although I'm not sure how much traffic they get.
