Magic Mechanics - Enhanced Reflection

Requirements
This mod requires the most recently nightly build of MWSE. Please be sure to run the mwse-update.exe before playing this mod.
Description
This mod adds reflection mechanics to the Reflect, Shield, Fire Shield, Shock Shield, and Frost Shield magic effects for both the Player and NPCs. The behavior of these new mechanics can be controlled through the MCM.
Reflect: The Reflect magic effect will reflect spell projectiles directly back to their caster.
Shield: The Shield magic effect will reflect spell projectiles at a realistic angle, depending on where the projectile hits the shielded actor.
Fire Shield: The Fire Shield magic effect will reflect spell projectiles which contain the fire damage magic effect, at a realistic angle.
Shock Shield: The Shock Shield magic effect will reflect spell projectiles which contain the shock damage magic effect, at a realistic angle.
Frost Shield: The Frost Shield magic effect will reflect spell projectiles which contain the frost damage magic effect, at a realistic angle.
Reflection chance is based on the magnitude of the magic effect that is causing the reflection (reflect, shield, etc.). For example, if you have 50 pts of Reflect, you have a 50% chance of reflecting the projectile. Depending on the distance and angle of the projectile to the target, sometimes reflection will still fail (EG, casting from a few inches away). If the reflection fails, the vanilla mechanic will still occur.
Known Issues:
- If the projectile is reflected back to the caster, it will move through the caster. This is due to game engine limitations and cannot currently be resolved.
- The vanilla mechanic still applies, so you essentially get 2 mechanics per magic effect. However, I think this is counterbalanced by considering this mechanic as something happens by chance, not as a given.
This mod does not use an ESP. This mod IS NOT compatible with OpenMW, at least until support for MWSE mods is added.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid endorsement count (196) shows the community digs it.
- Works for both you and NPCs, so it adds depth to combat all around.
- Last updated January 2025, so it's fresh and likely compatible with current game versions.
⚠️ Cons
- No compatibility notes—might clash with other magic overhauls or mods that touch the same effects.
- Niche appeal: if you don't use these specific spells, this mod won't do much for you.
For magic users who want more tactical depth in combat, especially those who rely on Reflect or Shield spells. If you're a pure melee or stealth player, this mod won't change your game. Skip if you prefer straightforward spell effects without added mechanics.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Test the reflection mechanics on a low-level enemy first to see how much damage gets sent back.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting other magic mods.
- Check if your other magic mods alter the same effects—if so, load order might matter.
