If he centers the attack ON you, it'll be reflected, whether it's Fireball or Magic Missile. But if he aims it NEXT to you, you'll get hurt. At least, I think that's the way it works.

actually, the Cloak also protects against area effect spells, even when they're NOT centered on you! it's not supposed to, but it does; probably a bug. I'm not sure though, wheter it just protects you from damage or if it actually reflects it back to the caster.
it does not however protect against non-damaging spells like various Powerwords or Symbols and other mind influencing spells, even when they are centered on you. Dispel Magic, Breach, Lower Resistance... and the like also get through. |

Since the original posting was asking for opinions, here's mine:
It is overpowered! The thing too is, it gets pretty addictive to have. Got that in the S City on my first run-through of the game and found it cool. In my next runthrough of SoA, I couldn't keep myself from looking forward to having it again and that thing got me into cheating a bit (a previous NO-NO for me). Damn! Funny thing, why has my Cloak of reflection turned into a ball/sphere effect on my character when I installed ToB? Is this a bug? I don't very much like the effect as you can't see your actual character pretty much (and the visual effect is also irritating). In SoA, the cloak effect was something like what the Sheild of Reflection offers (a circular ground effect). Just commenting, 's all! Note: By the way, what's the protocol in this board? Should the poster indicate in the subject itself that the posting is a spoiler or just in the body of the text itself? Wouldn't want to "walk into" a spoiler like what happened to Barb. |

just a slip. Back to my opinion, way overpowered. On the flip side, if you're going solo, it's a MUST HAVE item.. ------------------ If things got any better, I'd be twins. Keeper of Lost Cause |

When you install ToB, the Cloak of Mirroring gets nerfed, it becomes a Cloak of Absorbing, it no longer reflects back spells, thus the change in animation.

I can't believe it, with my new good party I got practically every item in the game except the best one, the cloak of mirroring.
