Reflect Spell M% for D seconds

Reflect Spell is an M% chance to reflect a hostile spell back at the caster and avoid its potentially damaging effect. This means that having 100% Reflect Spell will make you invulnerable to magic while all hostile spells cast at you will bounce back at their casters.

[edit] Notes

Sometimes it's really amusing to see Goblin Shamans fainting in front of you as they cast their Paralysis spells, Minotaurs casting Absorb Health and transferring their own health to you instead, Wraiths cursing and silencing themselves as they attempt to weaken you, and so on.
- Some creatures cast spells to which they themselves are immune: for example, fire/frost/storm atronaches, ghosts, wraiths (will resist Frost Damage which is part of their Silence of the Grave spell but silence themselves nevertheless), et al. - Reflect Spell is useless against such monsters, although it still protects you!
Note that it doesn't matter whether you're hit with spells cast by hostile or by friendly creatures - Reflect Spell will respond to everyone and everything likewise. Could cause trouble accidentally harming or killing your allies. Beware!
Spells will only reflect once. If your spell bounces against an enemy back to you, no amount of spell reflection is going to bounce it back.
Custom enchantments are not possible with Reflect Spell: this effect is disabled at the Enchanting Altar.
Here are some worthwhile items to acquire if you're trying to achieve a high spell reflection:
- Mundane Ring has 35% Reflect Spell, but it is a random item and therefore can be hard to obtain. (If you are at least level 22, Raven Camoran will always be wearing this ring when you kill him in either of his associated quests.)
- Spell Breaker is a shield with 30% Reflect Spell that you get for completing Peryite's Daedric quest.
- Ring of Sunfire can provide 25% Reflect Spell, but only if you get it at a high level.
- Ayleid Crown of Nenalata can provide 25% Reflect Spell, but only if you get it at a high level.
- Amulet of Reflection provides 20% Reflect Spell; it is also a random item, but can be found starting at level 9
- Ring of Namira is a ring with 10% Reflect Spell that you get for completing Namira's Daedric quest.
