Crimson Mirror

Created by Bobbyx

This ornate mirror shimmers with a deep crimson hue, its surface seeming to ripple like liquid blood despite its solid construction. When a creature casts a spell or makes an attack directed at the wielder, the mirror automatically reflects it back toward the original caster with devastating force. The reflected effect grows exponentially more powerful with each passing moment, as if entropy itself amplifies the magical or physical energy. Chaotic energies swirl around the mirror's frame, distorting the reflected attacks in unpredictable ways that make them harder to defend against. The mirror cannot be willfully deactivated—it indiscriminately reflects all hostile magic and ranged attacks without exception. Melee attacks that strike the mirror directly are unaffected by its properties and connect normally with the wielder. Those who rely on this artifact must accept that they cannot selectively choose which threats to deflect, making it a dangerous tool for the careless or unprepared.

Effects

Effects

When a creature targets you with an attack or spell, the mirror reflects it back at the original caster. The reflected attack or spell deals an additional 2d10 damage (of the same type as the original attack or spell) due to entropy amplification. The mirror cannot be deactivated and reflects all hostile magic and ranged attacks indiscriminately. Melee attacks that strike the mirror directly are unaffected.
