Gem of Retaliation (Magic Gem)

Gem of Retaliation: The holder of this gem gains a special protection against Evocation spells directed at him. The owner of the gem gains a +4 bonus to any saving throw made against such a spell, and also acquires a base save of 18 (but not the +4 bonus) against any Evocation spell which normally does not allow a saving throw (such as ice storm). All standard modifiers (ring of protection, Dexterity, etc.) apply.
Additionally, if the saving throw is successful, the incoming spell is converted into outgoing magic missiles. The number of missiles is equal to one-half the level of the spell negated, rounding fractions up. The magic missiles then streak back to strike the person or creature who cast the spell at the owner of the gem. Maximum range for this strike is 160 yards.
Spell-like effects created from magical items are not affected by the gem of retaliation (thus, a wand of magic missiles will function normally against someone using this gem).
An individual holding a gem of retaliation who comes under attack by an area spell (fireball, ice storm, etc.) gains the advantages as described above. Other persons in the area of effect suffer all effects normally. Even if the gem's owner saves successfully, the area-effect Evocation is not transformed into magic missiles as described previously.
