Elemental Deflection provides a bonus of +20 DS, with +1 DS for every two Major Elemental spells known over 507. The increased bonus results in an increased mana cost. The base mana cost is 7, +1 for every 3 bonus.

The spell will protect the user from a maneuver if the maneuver is able to be defended against by a shield. For example, soul golems pushing a character into steam vents can be deflected by a shield, so this spell would give the user protection.

Lore Benefit

15 ranks of Elemental Lore, Earth unlocks the ability to reflect bolt attacks. The reflected bolt will hit a random (group/player friendly) target in the room with a -20 AS (of the original attacker) applied to the reflected attack. Success of the initial attack is not considered in whether the reflected bolt occurs. Hidden and invisible creatures will not be hit by a reflected bolt.

Chance to reflect = Base 5% + 1% for every 10 additional lore ranks over 15
Elemental Lore, Earth ranks 15 25 35 45 55 65 75 85 95 105 115 125 135
