Effect	Reflects all spells cast by the enemy that target the caster of Bounce.
Flavor text	Forms a protective barrier that reflects all enemy spells.

Important things to remember:

• 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 will still be hit by the spell; if everyone has Bounce or Magic Mirror up, the entire spell will be returned to its caster.
