This spell, which was researched by Grimbor, distorts the three normal dimensions with respect to magic spells directed at the wizard. Any spell cast at the wizard will usually rebound, in part or perhaps in full. When a spell is directed at the wizard, percentile dice are rolled and rounded to the nearest decimal, i.e., 1-5 is dropped, 6-9 adds 10, so 05 equals 0% but 96 equals 100%. The score of the percentile dice indicates what portion has been turned. Damage is awarded proportionally. Saving throws for both opponents are adjusted upward by +1 for each 10% below 100%; i.e., 80% equals +2, 70% equals +3, ..., 10% equals +9. See the table below.
Spells which normally allow no saving throw may be negated or inflict half normal damage if a special saving throw is made. For each 10% of the spell turned, allow a saving throw of 5% (1 in 20); see the table below. This special saving throw is not modified by race, magic items, or other conditions.

	D100	Percentage	Saving Throw	Special
	Roll	Turned	Bonus	Saving Throw
	01-05	0%	-	-
	06-15	10%	+9	20
	16-25	20%	+8	19
	26-35	30%	+7	18
	36-45	40%	+6	17
	46-55	50%	+5	16
	56-65	60%	+4	15
	66-75	70%	+3	14
	76-85	80%	+2	13
	86-95	90%	+1	12
	96-00	100%	-	-

Spell turning does not apply to spells which affect an area and are not cast directly at the wizard, nor spells which are delivered by touch, nor magic delivered by devices or at-will abilities, such as rods, staves, wands, rings or other items, or monsters' abilities such as a devil's hold person or a storm giant's lightning bolt.
If the attacking wizard also has spell turning, either through ring or spell, the following table applies:

	D100 Roll	Effect
	01-70	Spell drains away without effect
	71-80	Spell affects both equally at full effect
	81-97	Both spells (or spell and ring) are drained permanently
	98-00	Both individuals are sent through a rift to the positive material plane

The material component of the spell is a small silver mirror.
