Bounce is a recurring spell throughout the Dragon Quest series.

It protects the caster from enemy attack spells, not by reducing their impact but by throwing them back at the source. 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.
