  • Provides a chance to reflect opponents' melee attacks. It can reflect any Close Combat attack, including a Weapon Damage Based Combat Arts. The attack is blocked from affecting the player and instead is inflicted on the opponent.
  • Bonuses from different sources have diminishing returns and can be calculated using the following formula:


x_final = х_1 + х_2*(100%-х_1)^2 + х_3*(100%-(х_1+х_2*(100%-х_1)^2))^2 + х_4*...


  • The block is calculated before reflection. Blocked damage cannot be reflected when reaching 100% chance to block (only possible for Close Combat).
    • For example a High Elf repeatedly casting the Expulse Magic on herself eventually gains a Chance Block Combat Arts at close to 100%, and the "Crystal Skin" buff ceases to reflect spells, as all they have previously blocked. This fact in no way belittles the importance of reflection, however, just a note of the fact that when achieving 100% chance to block, reflection makes no sense as it simply won't work.
