Anti-Gravity
Anti-Gravity is a projectile modifier spell that adds a constant force (opposite to gravity) to affected projectiles - generally causing them to fly upwards.
This acceleration is independent of projectile starting speed and can be of great use in making wands that take full advantage of the Speed Scaling bonus effect. Since the effect comes from an accelerative force (rather than a modification of the spell's trajectory like Fly Upwards) projectiles will increase in speed until reaching their terminal velocity.
Unusually for a modifier spell, Anti-Gravity affects Water and other single-drop Material spells, causing the droplets of created material to fly upwards until they hit something, where they resume normal behaviour. Stacking multiple copies of Anti-Gravity with such material spells greatly increases the 'upwarping' effect liquids have when hitting ceilings.
Speed Scaling
Maximum effect from Speed Scaling bonus comes when a projectile starts with as low a starting velocity as possible, and then accelerates to its' maximum speed before striking an enemy. However, all projectiles that benefit from this bonus die if their velocity drops below a threshold, making it tricky to precisely manipulate their starting speed for best effect. Anti-Gravity makes it easy - a single copy provides enough acceleration during the first frame of Bouncing Burst's life to take it from zero to above minimum speed, so any amount of speed reduction (e.g. Heavy Shot) can be applied.
