Spell absorb/reflect...

[darkgod]

...are now possible so shoob, you can get creative with such things

No definitive synatx yet but feel free to ask for it

[Shoob]

any suggested syntax?

and what does absorb do... I could see it doing a variety of things.

Ok, syntax is simple

spell_reflect = X
spell_absorb = X

With X being a %chance.

Spell reflect will throw back a spell at the caster (nasty!) and spell absorb will simply shrug off the spell.
Not all spells are affected, usualy area spells are not.
