Not entirely sure how that works since if your sphere is at 0,0,0 and your normal at say 50,50,50 then 50-0 is still 50.

That is just some highschool math.

1. normal direction of any given point on a sphere is:vertexPosition - spherePosition
2. Then,you set a spherePos var via BP,so if you mesh is a sphere,and spherePos is just equal to it’s object position.The normal direction is obvious: vertex WorldPositon - spherePos
3. But you know that you mesh is not a sphere,so the length of the normal vector may != 1.And you normalize it:normalize(WorldPositon - spherePos)
4. Finally,use result to override GBuffer.WorldNormal(if you have that custom normal mat node).
5. You can also do some lerp between vertexNormal and Calculate Normal.

Do you have any reference images/videos of as the few clips I saw of when I searched , I didn’t actually spot the bounce lights (maybe I saw them and they didn’t register) but I was curious to see what new lighting you meant.
