The Deflect spell endows the caster with a similar, if significantly less potent, spell defence to that of the Spell Turning spell. It creates a glimmering, translucent white shield, that will reflect the first spell of 5th level or less that is targeted on the caster back at its originator, in the manner of Spell Turning. Spells of over 5th level are unaffected, and Deflect can only stop a single spell before it is used up, whether that spell is 1st level or fifth level. Deflect is common amongst mages of lesser power who nonetheless want an effective defence in wizard-on-wizard battles.
