Mirror of light, reflect magical spite.
Yuna, Final Fantasy X

Reflect (リフレク, Rifureku?), sometimes translated as Wall, is a spell that causes the Reflect status. It appears in various games in the Final Fantasy series. Magic directed at a target with Reflect will bounce back to strike its caster.

Most spells, even recovery spells, can be Reflected. However, some spells can pierce Reflect, and Reflected spells tend to be weaker than when normally cast. The summon Carbuncle can cast Reflect on the party when summoned.
