Don't know how to change from arrow press to shift, perhaps esc will do... Don't know if your spell can use this workaround, but to give you an idea perhaps?

The problem is that you need to detect the player's mouse position when the ability is cast. If you were to somehow do this (I think it was possible with Reinventing the Craft), it would also mean that you must choose between smartcast always on and always off.

Trackable can do that I guess. A map covered with trackables and abilities that requires no target that work as dummy spells with hotkeys. When used you detect the position of the mouse via trackable then detect what spell was used and then do its effect. But a system like that will be very complicated and will require lots of math calculations.

if not smartcasting, is it possible to make an instant spellcast at where the mouse is positioned?

Only with trackables or Reinventing the Craft. Sorry.
