Description
Your sheer mastery of the art of deflection allows you to redirect magic back at your enemies with ease.
Mechanics
Upon successfully blocking a magical bolt or ball while in an aggressive stance, there is a chance that the attack can be redirected against another enemy creature in the same room (or even the original attacker). This chance is 35%/55%/75% at Ranks 1/2/3.
