Enchanted Mirror

Enchanted Mirror is a stationary defensive obstacle found in Peglin that reflects incoming projectile attacks back along the same trajectory unless the strike is powerful enough to destroy it. It occupies the same board layout as the Ballista and uses an upright mirror design that grants it resistance to targeted attacks. Despite being fragile in health, its reflection mechanic makes it an effective threat to projectile-based shots and to players who rely on straight-line peg chains.

The mirrors have unsettling flavor text: castle residents avoid looking into them more than once because of the eerie way they display reflections and the tricks that happen if one stares too closely.

Practical notes and interactions:

• The mirror reflects projectile shots directly back toward the firing source; aim changes caused by pegs or bumpers before impact still determine the outbound path, but the mirror reverses the travel direction.
• A sufficiently powerful hit will break the mirror and prevent reflection; otherwise it survives and continues reflecting subsequent projectiles.
• The upright design gives the mirror notable resistance against targeted abilities or spells that single out it or other specific targets.
• The Enchanted Mirror uses the same board footprint as the Ballista, so placement and collision constraints match that building.
• Historical/alternate names: older builds referred to a variant as Shadow Mirror (dark purple sprite). In some updates it was listed as Crystal Mirror with sprite and stat changes; modern builds start the mirror with a built-in Rebound effect at level 8.
