Magic reflect stuck on
Bug/Change request
"This is quite a complicated spell . So may make for difficult reading if you don't fully understand the way the reflect pool works.
The way the spell magic reflect works, there is no way to switch off the spell once casted when being harassed in combat - even with protection (save using a talisman of ward removal on yourself which takes off all buffs)
Because the spell reflect pool must be at maximum pool when you recast the spell to turn off the effect,
however if someone is depleting the pool, the spell will be stuck on.
suggested result: for spell to just come off once reflective pool reaches 0
this would mean you don't have to constantly mouse over your magic reflect buff to see if there's any left in the pool,
Also currently if you recast the spell at somewhere between 1%-99% of your maximum spell pool, the spell pool gets reduced to 0? reflect pool should be refreshed upon recasting if you're not under cooldown.
Also, if spell worked this way, a cooldown check could be made prior to spell casting instead of after"

Let us say you’re using mf for resists like you say some people do and you want to use the reflective pool.
Instead maybe it should give a message about cool-down without casting the spell.
i would then have to yield that the only way to switch off the buff would be at 100% pool which was my initial issue.
I can’t think of another way around it.
could we agree on the following expected result then:?
“
some spells like polymorph and mana shield, if you go to cast it again while it’s active, the spell will deactivate without requiring you to actually cast the spell and use mana
this is how magic reflect should work if you’re at full reflective pool. Being able to remove this spell is essential as it has both positive and negative effects (-5max phys resist), casting protection to remove the spell under harassment doesn’t work as reflective pool will continue to deplete under protection.
So for clarity final expected result:
buff to display pool as value current/max EG 40/56%
@gay do you concur?
I do have memories of bleak adjusting this spell at some point during testing based on player feedback and some things were improved from initial release however as you can see it’s difficult for a dev to do something the way a player wants it done when players struggle so much to describe what is wrong and moreover what they want to happen. This is especially difficult with such a complex spell and I hope this final expected result will simplify and fix all issues.”
