Self-targeting magic still takes affect, however, as well as [[Insulatle]], [[Kaclang]], [[Bazoom]], and [[Magic Barrier]].

{{Spell
Bounce is learned by the {{Luminary V}} at level 18 and by Mages at level 21. The duration is 6~9 turns and reflected spell power is based on the {{Magical Might}} of the intended target.
|console={{DS}}
|name=Bounce
|flavor=Forms a protective barrier that reflects all enemy spells.
|effect=Reflects all ''spells'' cast by the enemy that target the caster of Bounce.
|mp=4
|note=Reflected spells are resolved with the originally intended victim's {{Magical Might}}. For multi-target spells, only the caster of Bounce is protected.}}
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 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.
