If Cosmic is to be bumped down again, do not bring back the Invigorate lock to Nova Ray. Having to pair up one spell to fire off another is clunky and makes it far too predictable, especially with what's being used currently.
If Nova Ray is truly performing better than it should be, then they should maybe nerf the damage so it matches Energy Beam? Sure, but I personally do not like the idea of having to use one specific spell that then acts as a massive tell and giveaway just so you can use a beam spell that is very punishing when you miss it or end up standing in an AoE during it's firing when every other spell in the game doesn't have such a weird requirement and isn't as damning when you whiff (outside of most of the other beam spells.)
