Mental Mirror

You reflect mental attacks back at your attackers.

When you suffer a mental attack while Mental Mirror is off cooldown, you gain (level based) mental armor (MA).
If the attack then fails to penerate your MA, it's reflected back at your attacker.
Cooldown: 50

Mental Mirror is a mental mutation that allows the player to reflect mental attacks back at their source.

This mutation grants the "Mental Mirror" ability, which is not activated but is rather a passive ability. If a creature makes a mental attack against a player with Mental Mirror, the player's effective MA against that attack is increased by a mutation level-based amount, allowing them to better resist it's effects. Certain mental mutations, such as Confusion and Teleport Other, will also be reflected back at the attacker if the attack fails to penetrate the player's MA. Mental Mirror applying it's effects to an attack will cause it to go on cooldown.

Formulas

The following formula is used to determine MA bonus based on mutation level.

MA Bonus	3 + Level
