@Miskos: Depends: If we just go with "bigger and stronger" it does.

But if we look into the details, we still don't know if it was just the larger area of effect, just the additional strength or the combination of both that was the reason why deflector didn't protect Midnight.

And thus we don't know if a similarly large, but less powerful spell, or a similarly powerful spell that's concentrated into a very small area would hit Midnight.
