What do people think, can Nova powers be used when the Psyker him/herself is locked in combat?

The rules for them do talk about models locked in combat but i'm not sure if the refrence is just talking about who can be hit by it, any ideas?

Models in CC can be hit by a Nova attack. But unless a Psyker can use shooting attacks while locked in CC, he can't use any Witchfire powers (Nova included).

I suspected that would be the way people thought, makes sence just strangely worded, or maybe i'm just seeing some thing thats not there, thanks for the input.
