Reflect Spell

Metamagic feat

World of Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game (WoW), p. 156Updated WoW RPG (3.5)

Reflect Spell is a D&D 3.5 feat (Metamagic) from WoW, p. 156. Instead of dissipating the energy of a countered spell, you may reflect that spell back upon its caster.

Prerequisite

Block Spell, Iron Will, Magic Energy Control, Mirror Spell, caster level 7th.

Benefit

When you successfully counter a spell, instead of dismissing it entirely you may choose to retarget it upon its caster. To do so you must spend a spell slot that is at least the same level as the spell you are reflecting. If you decide to reflect the spell, the spell targets its caster if the caster is a legal target. (If the caster is not a legal target, the reflect attempt fails.) The spell then takes effect normally. For example, Leanine Starborn, a high elf priestess with the Reflect Spell feat, is engaged in combat with Alastair Bentstaff, a human mage. Leanine readies an action to counter a spell. Alastair attempts to cast cripple on Leanine; Leanine identifies it with a Spellcraft check and successfully counters it with dispel magic. She then decides to reflect the spell onto Alastair. She spends a 2nd-level spell slot (because cripple is a 2nd-level spell). Alastair casts cripple on himself, with the duration, save DC and other pertinent information based on his statistics, as normal. Leanine expended two spell slots - a 3rd-level slot for dispel magic and a 2nd-level slot for the reflection - to reflect Alastair's cripple.
