Projectile Repulsion Field
Projectile Repulsion Field is a perk that creates a field around you which repels projectiles. It also multiplies the 
Projectile damage you receive by 1.26x, increasing the damage you take from projectiles. This multiplier is applied again for each stack of the perk taken.
Mechanic
Every 2 frames the repulsion field will add speed to projectiles within a 50 pixel radius. It will also randomly change the direction, at most 30 degrees. This direction randomization also provides an offset that can push projectiles that have no speed. The speed multiplier is strongest near the player, decreasing in strength linearly, so 25 pixels from the player the effect will be only 50% strength. At zero distance, meaning on top of the player, the speed multiplier applied is 96 per stack of this perk.
Tips
- Projectile spells you cast fly faster / further as they are repelled from the field, such as Black Holes now going 3x+ the distance.
- However, this also causes a very slight variation in their flight pattern from your body, i.e. you'll point straight and it will go slightly up or down (A Linear Arc or Homing can resolve this).
- Has an anti-synergy with Healing Bolt, since it makes it harder to hit yourself. (This can be solved using Piercing Shot, by shooting into the ground and walking into the bolt.)
