Speed Modifier Spells

Heavy Shot

Greatly increases the damage done by a projectile, at the cost of its speed

Light Shot

Makes a projectile move considerably faster, but deal less damage

Chaotic Path

Causes a projectile to chaotically fly wherever it wishes

Slithering Path

Makes a projectile move rapidly in a slithering manner, like a snake

Accelerative Homing

A projectile homes towards enemies at an increasing pace

Projectile Area Teleport

If a valid target appears somewhere in the proximity of a projectile, the projectile will teleport right on top of the target

Accelerating Shot

Causes a projectile to accelerate as it flies

Decelerating Shot

Makes a projectile decelerate as it flies

Fizzle

Gives a spell a small probability of short-circuiting

Projectile Energy Shield

Gives a projectile a shield that deflects other projectiles

Speed Up

Increases the speed at which a projectile flies through the air

Explosive Projectile

Makes a projectile more destructive to the environment

Spell modifiers that adjust the speed of the affected projectile.

Accelerating Shot is a projectile modifier spell that both reduces the initial speed of a projectile and causes it to accelerate in flight - an effect similar to that of the pink bolts fired by Stevari.

Tips

• While it can reach higher speeds than the Speed Up modifier it is less reliable to aim with due to the changing velocity.
• Synergizes well with Black Hole, giving much greater material deletion range.
• Modifiers such as Rotate Towards Foes and Homing can keep the projectile on target until it reaches a higher speed.
• Can be used with Bouncing Burst to increase bonus damage (see: Speed & Damage). When combined with Heavy Shot this can be one of the best damage builds in the game.
• When using multiple speed-altering modifiers, be aware that the order can make a big difference. Any increase above the speed maximum of 20 is wasted, and reducing speed to zero will nullify all speed modifiers after that point (zero * anything = zero).
