Background

Reflection is the ability to return an opponent's attack, energy, or effect back to its original source or redirect it in some way. The user can reflect attacks, damage, or negative effects, often causing them to rebound with equal or greater force. The ability typically involves redirecting or negating the force, momentum, or energy directed at the user, and it can be employed in a defensive or offensive manner depending on the situation. This ability can be passive, automatic, or require precise focus and control depending on the user and the technique being countered.

Reflection is an important tool in various forms of combat, whether it’s physical, energy-based, or even mental or elemental. It can be a highly versatile and strategic ability, but its effectiveness often depends on the nature of the incoming attack or the user's mastery of the skill.

Applications

• Attack Reflection: The act of taking an incoming attack and turning it back on the attacker. Reflection can reverse various types of attacks, ranging from projectiles and energy blasts to more abstract concepts like elemental forces or mental attacks.

• Momentum Reflection: Redirecting an opponent's momentum, typically in physical combat, to turn their own movement or force against them. This involves using the opponent’s speed, strength, or actions to harm them or shift the battle in the user's favor.

Possible Limitations

• Effectiveness may depend on the nature of the attack, with certain types of attacks (e.g., abstract, non-physical, or mental) being harder to reflect.
• Requires considerable focus and timing to be effective, and not all users can reflect every attack they face.
• Reflection may only work under certain conditions, such as specific power types or limited to physical or energy-based attacks.
• Reflection can sometimes be nullified by higher-level abilities such as Resistance Manipulation or Immunity.
