You do not have to be in the thieves guild to steal from grey/red/perma/orange players.

1. You should get interrupted by a spell even when it is reflected. I tested this last night and it wasn't the case. Unless this was changed with the magic reflect revamp when UO:R was released, reflected spells always interrupted the target. It should be apparent in the demo (which I don't have)

        trigger washit
        {
           int Q4IB = (getSpellCircle(spellObj) - 1) * 1000 / 7;
           Q4IB = Q4IB + damamt * 20;
           int Q5NC = getSkillSuccessChance(this, 25, Q4IB, 40) - random(0, 999);
           if (Q5NC <= 0)
           {
              systemMessage(this, "Your concentration is disturbed, thus ruining thy spell.");
              doDisrupt(this);
              return (1);
           }
           return (1);
        }

as far as i can tell it has nothing to do with spell reflection, it just counts spell circle, amount of damage dealt and magery skill value.

      if(hasScript(usedon, "reflctor"))   // if the target has reflect up
      {
        doMobAnimation(usedon, 0x37B9, 0x06, 0x05, 0x00, 0x00); // play sprite animation on the target
        Q4JR(usedon, user, 0x01);  // call the Explosion effect with caster and target switched
        detachScript(usedon, "reflctor");  // remove reflect from the target
      }
      else
      {
        Q4JR(user, usedon, 0x00); // call the Explosion effect normally
      }

The only difference here is the 3rd parameter that is 0 for the non-reflected and the 1 for the reflected. I'm not sure what those variables are used for here. Perhaps, this could call off an interruption but seems unlikely.

integer Q428(object Q5UY, integer Q45Y, object from_Q5U8, object dest, integer realIndex_Q65M, integer selfTarget_Q5NQ)
{
  integer damage = Q45Y;
  if(isNPC(dest))
  {
    damage = Q45Y * 0x02;
  }
  object caster = from_Q5U8;
  if(selfTarget_Q5NQ)
  {
    caster = dest;
  }
  damage = getBaseDamage_Q43G(Q5UY, caster, damage);
  if(isValid(dest))
  {
    if(inJusticeRegion(getLocation(dest)))
    {
      damage = checkResistedInTown_Q4BI(from_Q5U8, dest, damage);
    }
    else
    {
      damage = checkResisted_Q4BH(from_Q5U8, dest, damage);
    }
  }
  damage_Q423(from_Q5U8, dest, damage, realIndex_Q65M, selfTarget_Q5NQ);
  return(damage);

If I was caught in gank, a decicated weaken/clumsy/feeble spammer could keep me from recalling, even with reflect up.

Is there actually a demo shard to test on? How do you connect to it? Can you multi client?
