protect spells

Reactive Armor
Magic Reflect
Protection

Could someone list a brief description of how they work in t2a. They're a bit different from what I remember in UO:R..

Here we go, straight out of T2A playguide:

Reactive Armor

Reflects a small amount of damage from bladed/blunt weapons back on the attacker. Doesn't work for magic or arrows.

Magic Reflect

Reflects the next spell cast on the person who receives it.

Protection

Increases your ability to resist magic/physical blows.

Don't think they were changed for UO:R. They did change COMPLETELY with Age of Shadows however.

Reactive Armor, All but completely nulls the damage taken from a physical blow - including arrows, only last a small number of hits, but can be re-casted immediately after it wears off.

Magic Reflect, Reflects all magic attacks back at the person who casted on you, Will only reflect one magic attack before wearing off, can be immediately re-casted after wearing off.

Protection gives you some AR protection, the amount is based on your magery skill. It does not effect meditation rate. Arch-Protection is a targetable version of protection that effects everyone in the immediate area of the target.

Ok so how long does reactive armor last? Is it onyl for 1 hit like reflect, or is it still duration/damage based.. Protection is supposed to allow you to not be disrupted on spells, not anything to do with armor rating.. If that is how it was in t2a then the pvp here will be rather boring

This is how I remember these spells working, for as long as I can remember.. (t2a was like 9 years ago, so..)

Reactive Armor: Reflects back a small portion of physical damage to the attacker. (Any weapon, even bows at melee range)
- Duration was permanent, or untill it was broken.

Protection: Imbued the character with a 25% chance (50% when scribe bonus came out) to avoid being disrupted even if you were damaged while casting a spell.
- Duration was about 2 1/2 - 3 minutes, could not be broken.

Reflect: Gave you +7 to your reflect attribute (Staff know what im talking about) Each spell casted on you would lower that # by the circle of that spell, down untill 0.. (a direct 7th spell would neutralize it first spell)
- Duration was permanent, or untill it was broken.

Now I know Reflect may of been altered back then, but i'd say im fairly accurate on the other two, especially Protection, as I never used any buff aside from Protect..

Feedback plz
