Arcane Reflection isn't working

[IanTheWizard]

I'm currently at the final fight of the Forgotten Sanctum. When I saw a Soul Mirror was about to unleash Minoletta's Missile Salvo on my wizard, I had him casted Arcane Reflection in time. But that didn't work at all. None of the missiles was reflected. My wizard died and the Soul Mirror was still unharmed.

Is that a bug?

arcane reflection spells can only reflect directly targeted spells. unlike the earlier minoletta's spells, missile salvo targets an area, so it won't do much to protect you unfortunately.

 

it's unfortunately a pretty big weakness and why it's not too great for you the player (wizards tend not to be in a position where they get directly targeted by enemy casters), but to be fair it would be 1000000% more annoying when an enemy uses it if it also protected them from aoe or indirect spells.

Thank you. The description of Arcane Reflection should have been clearer about that. I'm going add such a note on the wiki.
