The Mirror appears to be a standard 2" by 4" rectangular mirror. The silvered glass seems to reflect a scarlet sheen. When used, the mirror actually reflects a single magical attack aimed at the Tremere. This can be anything from a discipline, to a Gift, to a Magickal effect. The Mirror must be held out forcefully, as if signalling to anyone watching that the holder expects the Mirror to deflect the power. This is usually enough of a clue to any observers that something is wrong, and care should be taken.
When the effect is delivered, the Holder rolls Wits+Occult (diff 8), in a resisted test against the successes of the attack. Against Magick, the Mirror's successes are halved if Coincidental, and fourthed if Vulgar. However, for each blood point spent, an automatic success can be garnered, but only against Magick.
After a single application, the Mirror shatters, doing 1 health level to the Wielder.
The ritual that created it is lost to time, but some say it is a higher level version of Pavis of Foul Presence.
