* Any attack with an AoE greater than 0 (0 = a single target) cannot be deflected or fended.
* Spells, unless they have the "physical" flag, are treated just like magical arrows (i.e. they are harder to deflect with shields.)
* Any spell or missile with the "always hits something" flag (which I believe to be between !Inanimates and oSacreds on my spreadsheet) cannot be deflected by shields or blocked by arrow fend.
Thus, fire darts can be arrow fended, but orb lightning cannot. Also worth noting - arrow fend does not block single target buff spells, which tend to have the always-hits flag.
Does this agree with everyone's experience?
