Reflect is a status in Final Fantasy V that bounces compatible magic to the opposing party. Party members with reflect have a blue outline to their battle sprite.
Mechanics[]
Reflect is the only positive status that lapses. Enemies can be immune to reflect, but the Dragon Defense mix ignores it. The status lasts longer the higher level the user of Reflect/Carbuncle is.
Reflect can reflect the following:
- All White Magic spells, except Dispel (which removes it instead).
- All Black Magic spells, except Drain and Osmose.
- For Time Magic spells, the following can be reflected: Slow, Regen, Haste, Float, Gravity, Stop, Slowga, Graviga, Hastega, Old, and Banish.
- For Blue Magic spells, the following can be reflected: Level 5 Death, Level 4 Graviga, Level 3 Flare, Level 2 Old, Aero, Aera, Aeroga, Mind Blast, Mighty Guard, Dark Spark, and Off-Guard.
- For enemy abilities, the following can be reflected: Delta Attack, Search, 100 Gs, Blaster, Gamma Ray, Atomic Ray, Frostbite, Electrocute, and Mega Flare.
The reflected spell needs a target for the status to activate. In the Necrophobe battle, the Barriers can destroy themselves if the entire party hides, as reflect does not trigger if there is no valid target to bounce a spell into.
Added effects from weapons can bounce from reflect, such as the Assassin's Dagger's death effect.
