Spells can rebound again, if there is a second unit with magical shield on the place the spell was first reflected to (multi rebound). This works with blast, tornado, swarm, but not lightning. Spells can infinitely rebound, in case the map is filled with magical shielded units:

Spells that are not directly cast on a magical shielded unit, but are cast on the same grid square, usually don't rebound (or damage the unit(s) - tornadoes also won't make the units fly).
Tactics
- Use Invisibility and Magical Shield on your Warriors, and then send them to attack the enemy Shaman.
- Firewarriors or any other followers in balloons or boats with Magical Shield cannot be hurt by enemy firewarriors however Swarm or Hypnotise will cause them to jump out.
- Firewarriors have a magical attack similar to blast, so when you see a lot of firewarriors coming to attack your base simply cast Magical Shield on your own followers and they will be resisitant to the enemy firewarriors.
