Depending on terrain, Fire and Shadow may be able to hide
your forces.

I always thought so... or at least, enough to keep the
missile from hitting you and send it back towards the
firer. If the missile is bigger than you are, maybe the
whole missile wouldn't make it back to the firer, so it'd
just bounce and fall somewhere short.

Currently though I think Reverse Missiles is a bit much
- it shouldn't be all-powerful nor particularly accurate,
I think. In Dominions, the anti-missile magic just
deflects the shot enough to make it miss, which means it
fairly often hits people nearby instead.

Not exactly "mass", but 7-hex Shadow, 7-Hex Wall,
Pentagram... isn't there a Megahex Avert? Gate...
Word of Command can be used defensively.
