Casting spells on targets in water

[Talon]

I'm on my wizard attempting to kill gargoyles in OoT. I get the mob low and it starts to run away which is perfect, except it runs straight into the water. The problem now is that no matter where I stand (in or out of water) I am told that I "can't see my target from here". Is there any trick to be able to cast on targets in water?

Mobs swimming at the top of the water are really buggy right now and you won't be able to cast on them until they patch it. Either snare them or kill something else.

Yea it's broken. I bug reported having the same issue with Seafuries in OOT. Super frustrating as they seem to always want to dash towards the sea.
