Reflection - For Mirrors cast the most powerful of Guilts
These secrets include Deireas Faileas, Reflection, Counter Attack, as well as Asgall Faileas. They are a curious series of invocations, as instead of rendering any damage ignored, they reflect it back to their dealers. For clarity's sake, Deireas Faileas has a chance to reflect spells back to their caster, while Reflection cast the same effect on the whole group. Counter Attack partially reflects a small amount of damage back to its dealer. The case for Deireas Faileas, Reflection and Counter Attack for those of the Priest and Bard Path is similar to that of Mor Dion and Mor Dion Comlha, and again, the empathic nature of those who walk the path of the Priest. Others could argue that through their awe-inspiring presence, monsters and creatures would almost be made to feel guilty for their actions; their insolence to attack a seemingly defenceless and harmless entity such as the Priest, and curse themselves instead. However, this explanation would overrate a creature’s mental capacity by orders of magnitude. The most rational explanation would again be to attribute these secrets to the Priest’s ability to feel for others, and their care for their health, as well as protection - however, these secrets also bear an eye-for-an-eye mind set which would seem to contradict a priest’s values. But let one ask themselves, in the direst of hours, even the loving priest would justify that the creature brought their fate upon themselves.
On the other hand, Asgall Faileas does not reflect magical effects like Deireas Faileas and its comlha iteration - the Reflection secret, or partial damage like Counter Attack, but delivers all the attack attempted at its user back to the creature that attempted it. This is granted to the Warrior not for their aptitude of strength, but through their post as strategy-makers, they’re able to observe the attitude and behaviour of the enemy, and therefore correctly maneuver themselves so as to ensure that the creature strikes itself instead. Although it could be argued that it fits the monk’s principles of balance more, since it deals the same damage as one would have received, the monk knows nothing of the battle strategy those of the Path of the Warrior do, those of the Monk being mainly restricted to guerrilla-like tactics.
