Bounce: Difference between revisions

It protects the caster from enemy attack spells, not by reducing their {{Strength}}, but by throwing them back at the caster. The barrier is conjured up for 4 {{MP}}, and will last 6~9 turns.  Among the items that can emulate its effect includes the [[Zenithian shield]].

The enemies [[Franticore]], [[Hocus chimaera]], [[Wyrtoise]], and [[Zoma]] use this spell on themselves.

The enemies [[Peeper]], [[Rhinocerex]], [[Beleth]], [[Div]] (in the remakes), [[Aamon]], and [[Psaro the Manslayer]] in his seventh form can use this spell on themselves.

[[Wyrtoise]], [[Kon the Knight]], [[Mechan-o'-wyrm]], [[Wrecktor]], [[Necromancer]], [[Ladja]], [[King Korol]], and [[Nimzo]]'s second form use this spell as enemies.

Bounce can only be obtained by mastering the [[Mage]] vocation.

The enemies [[Armoured wartoise]], [[Iron tortoise]], [[Plated goretoise]], and [[Mortamor]] use this spell.

Bounce can be learned at rank 1 as an [[Armamentalist]] or rank 5 as a [[Delusionist (vocation)|Delusionist]]. The [[Rippled rapier]] can also cast Bounce when used as a tool in battle.

In remake versions, it can also be learned at rank 1 as a {{Hero V}}.

It can be cast by the enemies [[Mastermine]], [[Envoy]], [[Ironclad wartoise]], [[Pink panzer]], and [[Div]].

Bounce can be learned by [[Jessica Albert]] and [[Angelo]] by investing points (21 and 9 respectively) into the Staff skill.

|name=Bounce

|effect=Reflects all ''spells'' cast by the enemy that target the caster of Bounce.

|note=Reflected spells are resolved with the originally intended victim's {{Magical Might}}. For multi-target spells, only the caster of Bounce is protected.}}

*Breaths, particle beams, etc. are ''not'' reflected by Bounce.

*Reflected spells use the reflecting player/enemy's {{Magical Might}} rather than the original caster's.

*Multiple-target spells such as the [[Bang]] series are reflected on a per-hit basis. If only your [[Mage]] has Bounce up, the rest of the {{Party 9}} will still be hit by the spell; if everyone has Bounce or [[Magic Mirror (skill)|Magic Mirror]] up, the entire spell will be returned to its caster.

Wyrtoise can learn the perk '''Rare Bounce''' through [[Talent Blossoming]], while [[Nimzo]] learns it when he is fully awakened. It grants them a 20% chance to activate Bounce at the start of each action. [[Psaro the Manslayer]], [[Old King Mortamor]], and [[Santa Alena]] possess the perk '''Instant Bounce''', which activates Bounce at the start of battle for three turns. [[Maldragora]] the Worldmaker can learn it with 10 awakening points, while [[Slimecicle]] and [[Wulfspade]] can learn it through Talent Blossoming or their character builder respectively. [[Alphyn]] can learn the perk '''Instant Spell Reflect''' with 10 awakening points, which activates Bounce at battle start for two turns. [[Famed Schleiman Tank]] and [[King Godwyn|King Godwyn's True Form]] can learn the perk '''Spell Reflect Shield''' with 30 awakening points, which activates Bounce at battle start for two turns.
