This is a pretty basic item that replicates the function of the Disc of Repulsion, but in a Doom environment. The name is a play off of Quake's Pentagram of Protection. I've been wanting one of these for a while--not just because it's useful on its own merits, but also to hopefully counteract some of the community vitriol towards the Vore and its unique homing projectile that a lot of people seem to have trouble dealing with. :P (Can't dodge it? Reflect it!)

I'd like feedback on whether the sprite "works" or not in terms of style. (The sprite is a bit larger than it's displayed in-game, since a pentagram/pentacle shape just doesn't read well when it's too small.) Also, on whether the "blast effect" is acceptable, or how to improve it.

EDIT: Updated "credits" portion of OP since the submission includes some modified versions of Raven's sprites for the visible blast effect on monsters. Submission contents will be updated accordingly.

EDIT 2: Recolored the blast effect sprites, and changed their blending mode. (Old mode is commented out but not deleted.) Updated CREDITS lump to match OP credits info.

EDIT 3: Compressed and modified sound. Sprites updated. Not "done" yet.

EDIT 4: All sprites converted and compressed.")*
