Deflect Magic

Deflect magic protects against damage from magic attacks and can deflect some of the damage back onto the attacker. This is potentially an extremely potent curse against users of ancient magicks. It is unknown if this curse also deflects any side-effects to a spell. This curse has no effect against Vengeance.

The deflection curses are a primary reason for players to switch from the normal prayer set to the curses, as they have the same drain rate as the protection prayers from the regular book and can deal additional damage back.

Note that as with all Deflect prayers, the Ferocious Ring does not add damage you reflect back onto the enemy.

Deflect prayers will grant you full protection against NPC attacks and 40% from player attacks.

The damage reflected is 10% of the damage the attack would have done if not blocked.

In order to use this prayer you must have the Ancient Curses activated which requires completion of The Temple of Senntisten quest.

Trivia

 * This curse is favoured by higher levels in any situation, including Bounty Hunter and PvP Worlds, because of the rebound it can inflict on the opponent while draining prayer points at the same rate.
 * This curse requires 28 more prayer levels than its counterpart on the regular prayerbook.
 * This curse (along with Deflect Missiles) has been used to kill TzTok-Jad with no weapons.
 * These curses do not seem to deflect the spells of most NPC due to their magic spells hitting 0s instead of the prayer blocking the damage.
