The strange lands of the Shadowlands interfered with the operation of
the normal reflection shields, leading to the development of the Empowered
shields. These shields surround the target with a defensive barrier that
deflects a portion of all damage being dealt by the attacker away from the
target. Some of this damage is deflected back onto the attacker. Every 2
minutes the reflection shields are refreshed on the soldier's team. Designed
to allow the soldier to more easily use a Mirror Shield in times of trouble,
the reflection shield placed on the soldier is refreshed every 10 seconds
and is slightly more powerful.
