Olympia: The Age of Gods PBEM (May 4 1999)
Usage: USE 9186 <flag> Time to learn: 28 days.
Knowledge of 9186 will, by default, cause the mage to absorb any blasts of aura instead of being harmed by them. The mage absorbing the blast gains 1/2 of the aura originally used in the blast.
Instead of absorbing aura, the blast may be reflected back to the attacker. To set this option, specify a flag of 1:
use 9186 1 # reflect aura blasts back at attacker use 9186 0 # absorb aura blasts into current aura
Aura blasts may only be reflected once. If a blast is reflected back to an attacker with knowledge of 9186, the attacker will be harmed, and will not absorb or reflect the blast.
