What is up w/ Elsa acting as if she'd never used a locator spell before? She used one in Snow Queen to track down Emma. She stole that vile  that was on Snow's table, poured it on Emma's scarf and found Emma at the fancy house by following the enchantes scarf.

And didn't she say, when enchanting Anna's necklace, "I've never done this before, how does it work?". I think that she was exepcting the locator spell to act like it did with the scarf, not as a compass. and I know for a fact by her reaction that she was NOT expecting her sisters necklace SHE MADE FOR ANNA to be the Wishing Star itself!

So my guess is that when they enchanted the Wishing Star to track Anna, Elsa was not expecting it to work like a compass, which might be why she asked how it worked.

Just my two cents

Yup. You were basically right. I ended up tweeting the writer and was lucky enough to get an answer.
