I'm attempting to catalogue a large number of OD&D spells and update those tha aren't already in 5e to 5e. To that extant I would like to ask about the spell Gaze Reflection.
The Spell was 1st level from OD&D to 2e, before it was removed from the game. The spell basically reflected the Gaze Attacks of creatures used on the caster back at them for 10 minutes. Originally it only worked on Basilisk and Medusas (because otehr creeatures with Gaze Attacks hadn't been created yet), but now it propbably works on anything that has a gaze attack, such as Nothics, Umber Hulks, etc. etc.
Question: Is this spell too powerful for 1st level, and if so what level does it seem feasible for? Alternatively, is this spell Niche enough to remain Level 1?
