mirror shield
Warrior's reflecting guard
A mirror shield is a defensive item in fantasy games and mythology that reflects attacks—especially magic or a creature's petrifying gaze—back at the attacker.
The concept traces to Perseus, who used a reflective shield to avoid looking directly at Medusa.
In gaming, mirror shields typically counter specific enemies or projectiles: Use the mirror shield to deflect the laser.
