Intrinsic Purpose
This intrinsic provides the powerful ability to reflect ray attacks. This can help to prevent damage from many ranged spell attacks, as well as providing a powerful strategy to the player. Most ray attacks already bounce off walls, so you can use this intrinsic to pin an enemy between yourself and a wall, then cast a ray attack such as Magic Missile. The ray will bounce off the wall and you until it reaches it's maximum range, striking the target multiple times. Also very useful for charging up Lightning Rapiers, you can drop a rapier next to a wall and move it so that it's between you and the wall. Casting Lightning Bolt or having a Blue Dragon in that space can quickly charge up the rapier.
