I think it was a good choice making it deflection instead of reflection because of the following reasons: 1: the reflection targeted area effect spells(abi dalzims, fireball) making it extremely powerful against mages. 2: the reflection was permanent, so anyone who wore it was immune to all damage spells, and could sit there while an enemy mage killed himself on your cloak.
imho, the cloak should work like the spells defection or turning, except with no limit of spell levels and no time duration. that would make it reflect (or deflect) only spells that are targeted on you, making much less powerful, and more balanced toward mages.
