So in my hack I'm trying to make the spazer and plasma beams be balanced in my hack and I have used SMILE to change firing speed around, but how can I edit the actual trajectory and properties of beams, and is there a utility to do so or do I just have to go in without one?

You can edit some beam properties, such as speed, penetration, acceleration, etc with projectiler, but any substantial edits to beam properties like trajectory and other fancy stuff has to be done manually either through tilemap editing or asm

JAM made a beam editing guide that explains how to change pretty much everything about beams, i'd recommend following that doc.
