An amulet which exerts a force that blocks some incoming attacks, and can even reflect any blocked ranged attacks back towards the attacker.

Wearing an amulet of reflection provides a variable amount of SH, from 1 to 6, depending on its enchantment. When projectiles are blocked, they are reflected, as when wearing a shield with the reflection ego.

Strategy

Players with high SH from shields and some uncommon mutations benefit the most, but these amulets are surprisingly effective for anyone, especially ones with high enchantments. They can make packs of centaurs and yaktaurs much less dangerous, and can potentially cause significant reciprocal harm by reflecting missiles back at their sources.

History

The amulet of reflection was added in 0.18.
