A single successful use ofreflect expends its protection.Spells developed with thereflect seed against spells andspell-like effects return allspell effects of up to 1stlevel. For each additionallevel of spellsto be reflected,increase the SpellcraftDC by +20. Epicspells are treated as 10th-levelspells for this purpose.The desired effect is automaticallyreflected if the spell in questionis 9th level or lower. An opposedcaster level check is requiredwhen the reflect seed is usedagainst another epic spell. If the enemyspellcaster gets his spell through by winning thecaster level check, the epic spell using the reflect seed isnot expended, just momentarily suppressed.If the reflect seed is used against a melee attack orranged attack, five such attacks are automatically reflectedback on the original attacker. For each additionalattack reflected, increase the Spellcraft DC by +4. Thereflected attack rebounds on the attacker using the sameattack roll. Once the allotted attacks are reflected, thespell using the reflect seed is expended.SEED: REVEALDivinationSpellcraft DC: 19 (see text)Components: V, SCasting Time: 1 minuteRange: See textEffect: Magical sensorDuration: 20 minutes (D)Saving Throw: NoneSpell Resistance: NoYou can see some distant location or hear the sounds atsome distant location almost as if you were there.
