Instantiated projectile always floats up

I have a Light_Spell script attached to a magic wand which is parented to a Razer Hydra hand object. The Light_Spell takes a prefab of a Light which is projected out of it when a button is pressed.
However the light is just moving up, no matter what way I rotate the hand object, it always goes up. I had it working but I changed some code around and can’t remember how I got it working in the first place.

Here is the code I have so far:

    if (isSelectedSpell && SixenseInput.Controllers[0].GetButtonDown (SixenseButtons.BUMPER) && triggerIsPressed == false) {
        Rigidbody instantiateProjectile = Instantiate(wandLightProjectilePrefab, transform.position, transform.parent.transform.rotation) as Rigidbody;
	}

I have tried setting Vector3 to up and forward and a whole set of different things. Any ideas on what I should do to make it match the rotation of where the hand is pointing and stuff?
Thanks

RaycastHit hit;

if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0) && Physics.Raycast(Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition), out hit))
{
   GameObject projectile = Instantiate(projectilePrefab);
   StartCoroutine(MoveTo(projectile, hit.point);
}

// ...

IEnumerator MoveTo(GameObject proj, Vector3 hit)
{
    while(Vector3.Distance(proj.transform.position, hit) > 1)
    {
        proj.transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(proj.transform.position, hit, Time.deltaTime);
        yield return null;
    }
}
