Gravity Flux
Alteration, target Area Effect spell using 337 mana and doing damage from 170 to 220 hit points, plus whatever damage the mobs take from the fall. This spell is also available to Enchanters at level 39. The level 39 Enchanter spell will scribe to our books at level 44. (area effect and fall info submit by Raadt Blare of Cazic Thule).(Enchanter info given by Moish Osiris of Karana) (Thanks for the level head's up Lindara, Wizardress of The Rathe!)

Comments section on Gravity Flux spell from 2005, comment made 2003:

This spell got nerfed, and no longer does the "It's a bird, it's a plane, no! It's a bloody wiz kite-flying 4 giants..." thing...

Farewell, Gravity Flux.. say hi to Al'Kabor for me, will you?

This old quote matches what the OP of this thread said about quad kiting giants with this spell. Gravity Flux is intended to be the level 44 quad kiting spell, Wizards get a quad spell at 8, 16, 34, 44, 51, and 54 as it states in the P99 Wiki http://wiki.project1999.org/Wizard.

The reason no one sees mobs taking falling damage is because mobs don't fall, they path to targets. Gravity Flux is the only way I can think of to make mobs fall other than the slight falling damage from running down steep slopes.

However, I'm not sure how areas like Spiroc/Aviak tower will work since currently mobs immediately jump off and "float" down to ground level eventually. Falling mobs is essentially just bugged right now. Those aviaks should be pathing down the ramps.
