Olympia: The Age of Gods PBEM (Oct 4 2000)

### E.24.11: Absorb aura blast [3235]

      Usage:  USE 3235 <flag>
      Time to learn: 28 days.

Knowledge of 3235 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 3235 1	# reflect aura blasts back at attacker
      	use 3235 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 3235, the attacker will be harmed, and will not absorb or reflect the blast.
