I was experimenting a bit with spell reflection, and noticed that it seems to drain spells. When casting a reflectable spells at a character with active reflection, as it gets reflected it uses up another cast from that same level.
I have attached a save game set up to illustrate. From the save, I spawn a dummy somewhere to initiate combat, then have hireling Bob cast Minor Arcane Reflection. I then have Aloth cast Thrust of Tattered Veils at Bob. The initial casting of course uses up one of his level 1 spell casts for the encounter. However, when the Thrust gets reflected, Aloth's second level 1 spell cast gets used as well (this happens with other reflectable spells as well, at least those I tried; it's not Thrust-specific). Obviously this is with me casting at my own party member, but I assume the same would happen when casting at an enemy with reflection or vice versa.
Edit: just tried it against the Skeletal Wizard at the Engwithan Digsite, if he puts up Arcane Reflection and I cast Thrust against it, I get the same effect.
I have the beta enabled by the way, but I'm not so sure that makes a difference in this case so I posted it here rather than in the beta forum.
