Floating weapon + shots aren't moving properly.

Question

What I'm trying to do:

I'm trying to have a floating sphere that follows the player (shown below) shoot blasts at what the camera is facing.

Starting the playtest

What is happening instead:

When I press and hold the left mouse button, the blasts appear at my character's feet, not the sphere.
The trail of blasts in the image below show how the blasts move - or, more importantly, how they don't.

Update:

Solved the blast spawn problem. The script was attached to the sphere's main parent object (i.e. "weapon name"), not the sphere itself.

For reference, here's the hierarchy of the weapon:

Weapon > Sphere > BlastSpawn

Attach the blast spawn script to the Sphere itself.

Add the following script to the BlastSpawn:

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class GrimoireBlast : MonoBehaviour {
     public Rigidbody projectile;
     public Transform shotPos;
     public float shotForce = 1000f;

     void Start(){
         // For use later
     }
 
     void Update () {
         if(Input.GetButtonUp("Fire1")) {
                 Rigidbody shot = Instantiate(projectile, shotPos.position, shotPos.rotation) as Rigidbody;
                 shot.AddForce(shotPos.forward * shotForce);
         }
     }
 }
