That's the ToB version. If you play without ToB installed, the Shield bounces the rays right back at the Beholders. But everybody complained about the stupidity of killing an entire lair of Beholders just by walking into the room, so in ToB the Shield is softened to merely absorb the rays, not reflect them. And it's still ridiculously overpowered.
