Reflector (屈折, リフレクター, Rifurekutā) is a Caster-Type Magic.

Description

Reflector is a form of Magic which enables its user to twist and distort almost anything.[2] It can affect both material things, such as metal,[3] and intangible entities, such as air[1] and light.[4] Such Magic possesses both great offensive and defensive capabilities: by refracting air, the user is capable of generating highly-destructive flying slashes of various sizes, which possess great cutting power.[1][5][6] By twisting anything entering the immediate area surrounding them, the user becomes virtually immune to any attack, be it physical or Magical in nature, with every incoming spell or melee assault having its trajectory moved in order to avoid striking the user,[7] who can even reflect these attempts back at their originators.[8] By refracting light, the user is even capable of generating illusions,[4] going as far as to twist reality itself in the eyes of their opponents.[9]

Reflector appears to be a very powerful form of Magic, with even Jellal Fernandes, a former member of the Ten Wizard Saints, praising it.[4] In spite of its undeniable advantages, however, this Magic suffers from several drawbacks:

  • The user is capable of twisting anything aside from human bodies.[10]
  • The user can only use their refracting powers on a single area at a time, either around themselves or elsewhere.[11]
  • The user can momentarily twist objects with elastic properties, but these attempts will ultimately result in being ineffective towards restraining or harming the opponent, with the effected material eventually returning to its normal state.[11]
  • The illusions generated by the user are incapable of effecting individuals who possess artificial eyes.[12]

Reflector can also be used in conjunction with other forms of Magic: by employing it alongside Darkness Magic, Midnight was able to surpass the repelling power of Dan Straight's shield Ricochet by reflecting back the spell it had just repelled; he used a similar combination when pitted against Byro Cracy, refracting the range of the man's Nullification Magic and then assaulting him while he was temporarily defenseless with his Darkness Magic.[13]
