Name Amulet of reflection
Icon Amulet of reflection.png
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 5 SH and the reflection ego. When projectiles (either ranged weapons or certain types of spells like Stone Arrow) are blocked, they are always reflected back at the attacker.

Strategy

This amulet's +5 SH is a fairly strong bonus to your defense. Unlike other amulets, the SH bonus is consistent: it doesn't wear off like acrobat, or require MP as with guardian spirit. Therefore, it is a strong option for just about any character. But certain characters may want another amulet for its properties.

The ability to reflect projectiles can be useful, particularly against ranged enemies like centaurs and yaktaurs. But the reflection is a minor benefit when compared to the SH bonus. Note that players with higher SH (from shields or other sources) will block more often, so will reflect projectiles more often.
