__TOC__

==Description==

'''Elemental Deflection''' is a defensive enhancement spell. <section begin=description /><includeonly>Elemental Deflection</includeonly><noinclude>It</noinclude> provides a bonus of +20 to [[defensive strength]].<section end=description />

For each rank of [[Major Elemental]] spells known:
* the duration of the spell is extended by 60 seconds from its base duration.
* the DS bonus is increased by +1 for every 2 ranks known over 507 when [[selfcast]].

The spell will protect the user from an SMRv1 [[standard maneuver roll|maneuver]] if the maneuver is able to be defended against by a [[shield]]. For example, [[soul golem]]s pushing a character into steam vents can be deflected by a shield, so this spell would give the user protection.

The spell is [[selfcast]] only.

The DS bonus is capped at the caster's [[level]].

The DS bonus at 100 Major Elemental Spell Ranks is 67.

== 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.
