Kestrel's blade came back halved off the automaton's REFLECTION and landed before he could raise the ABSORB in his hand. FULL REFLECTION's return was already a fresh attack with the caster's own window; the half now goes the same way — its damage and any split duration ride a returned stack the caster may meet with an ABSORB, a BLUNT, or another REFLECTION. Trapped spells and creatures' touches keep the instant half. Older games replay as they landed. A test soaks the half and takes it, under rev 18 and rev 17.
