(Witch) Support Gems Spell Echo/Cascade Don't Work With Profane Ritual

When Spell Cascade and/or Spell Echo are slotted with Profane Ritual, neither will work, Profane Ritual only triggers once.

Bumping, having same issues.
Yay, it's not just me
Still not working. This is the primary obvious choice to get power charges for the Lich ascendancy passive, and it is super clunky.
Do you suppose it fails because the skill consumes a corpse to give the power charge? Do any skills that consume corpses echo? I think decompose did last season but I haven't tried lately.
I was about to test if this not working was caused by profane not being able to target a second corpse with spell echo. So I slotted in corpse conservation to see if it could target the same corpse if it isn't consumed.

Well turns out corpse conservation also does not work on profane ritual. Unless I am REALLY unlucky and just didnt trigger it a single time in 30+ casts.
Pretty sure this might be intended, since both of those support gems target skill gems that have an aimable aoe. profane ritual does have the AOE tag but the actual targeting is not aoe but instead just a single corpse. Pretty sure this is why those are not working, since unleash works as intended recasting 2 times. so if you want to grab more charges just use unleash instead.

I dont't think those gems should be even sockatable since it is very confusing for players who don't pay this much attantion to how a skill actually works. not very new player friendly. But there are a lot of support gems this applies to for different skills so I hope it will be fixed at some point.

Was there a fix for this?
Thanks for your report, I'll pass this on.
