I'm pretty sure her gyphs control gravity of objects they touch in the natural dust-free state. during initiation, when she used them as stepping stones, they changed to a slightly negative gravity, causing her to bounce. same thing with the white fang lieutenant, but a much stronger gravitational push in order to achieve the ricochet effect. when they were fighting the nevermore, the black glyph was increased gravity to hold Ruby in place which changed to a powerful directional anti-gravity to help slingshot her, then the glyphs along the glyph redirected the gravity to make the path up the cliff function as if it were flat ground beneath her feet, rather than a wall parallel to them.
