Reflect (status)

Reflect (リフレク, Rifureku) is a recurring status effect in the Final Fantasy series. A character with the buffer will have magic - offensive, defensive, healing, or otherwise - bounce off them, and hit there opponent. It can be gained through the spell Reflect, the item Star Curtain, the accessory Reflect Ring, the ability Auto-Reflect, or by the summon Carbuncle.

It should be noted that Reflect isn't a constant cycle; as in, spells will only be reflected once. If, for example, a lone character is facing a lone enemy, and both have reflect up, the spell will not constantly cycle between the two. Instead, it will reflect once, and hit the opposite target. However, Final Fantasy VII was different, as spells did reflect back and forth.

Final Fantasy III
Reflect can be achieved through the spell Reflect and the item Shining Curtain.

Final Fantasy IV
Reflect, Light Curtain, and Lunar Curtain all are capable of giving this status to party members.

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years
Reflect can be achieved in the same way as in Final Fantasy IV

Final Fantasy V
Reflect may be achieved through the spell Reflect, the accessory Reflect Ring, the summon Carbuncle, and the mix Dragon Defense.

Final Fantasy VI
The party may obtain Reflect through the spell Reflect, the Esper Carbuncle, and the Relic Reflect Ring. The enemy can obtain Reflect through Reflect as well as Program 18 and Magitek Barrier.

Final Fantasy VII
The accessory Reflect Ring, the spell Reflect, the item Mirror, and the enemy ability Materia Jammer all grant Reflect to the party.

Final Fantasy VIII
Reflect can only be achieved through the spell Reflect, the GF Carbuncle, and the ability Auto-Reflect.

Final Fantasy IX
Reflect, Carbuncle, and Auto-Reflect remain the only ways for the party to obtain the Reflect status.

Final Fantasy X
Once again, the party can only achieve Reflect through the spell Reflect, the ability Auto-Reflect, and the item Star Curtain.

Final Fantasy Mystic Quest
While there is no Reflect spell, the status still appears. The enemies Beholder, Gather, Jelly, Ooze and Slime are set in permanent Reflect status and are entirely immune to magic attacks. Pazuzu and Zuh have an attack called "Psychshield", which sets Reflect status on them for a short time. There is no way to achieve Reflect status on the player's characters, however.
