Magery – Magic Reflection

  • The Magic Reflection spell will once again be enhanced to provide additional tactical options in player versus player combat. At this time, any targeted non AoE spell, regardless of its circle, can be reflected (excluding Bard Masteries). This change will add variety and additional tactical options when fighting a character who has cast magic reflect. The magic reflection spell decreases the caster's Physical Resistance and physical resistance cap, while increasing the caster's Elemental Resistances. This spell now works off a pool, if you do not have any reserves left in your pool you only have to cast the spell once to replenish it, If you have reserves in your pool you must cast Magic Reflect once to remove the spell and again to re-add the spell.
  • When a player casts magic reflect they will receive a pool of reflection power which is based off of their Magery, Inscription and scaled by their Magic Resistance.
  • The level of the spell cast on a target will remove power for the targets reflection pool. The more powerful the spell you cast, the better chance you have of defeating the magic reflection.

  • Once a spell is cast that succeeds in depleting the pool of reflection power, it will damage the target. This is true even if the first spell cast successfully breaks the reflect.
  • Once a reflect is broken, there is a 30 second delay before the target can cast reflect again to replenish their pool.
  • Magic reflection will only be removed thru purging or recasting magic reflection with an active reflection power pool.
  • Items of reflection will take 60 seconds to charge.
  • After equipping a reflect item there will be a 60 second delay before the reflect is active.
  • This will use only one charge from the item.
  • The reflect will act in the same manner as if it had been cast by the character wearing the item.
  • Once the reflect is broken, the wearer must wait 60 seconds before the item will place another reflect spell.
