'''Gaze reflection''' offers protection against creatures whose attack includes a [[Paralysation|paralysing]] or [[Petrification|petrifying]] look, such as [[Medusa|medusae]], [[Basilisk|basilisks]] or [[Catoblepas|catoblepas]].  Eye contact with these creatures normally requires a saving throw; but the gaze protection spell can be cast quickly enough that it protects the caster automatically — so long as the caster isn't surprised.
