The perk will unlock once you complete the first temple or trigger the powers tutorial. The deflections have a power cost and will stagger you if attempted without power. If you attempt to deflect an enemy 10+ levels above you it will cost about 4x more power.

Rank 1: Deflection cost 3 power per shot for automatic weapons and 6 for everything else.  "Powerful projectiles" here means anything with the Heavy, Sniper, or Shotgun keyword.

Rank 2: flat chance increase nothing special.

Rank 3: Specific weapon projectiles no longer stagger but the "out of power" stagger will still occur and all projectiles now cost 3 power.

Rank 4:  This may be a little overpowered but is very fun. :)

I designed the perk to work with a harmless vanilla Keyword "NotJunkJetAmmo" so it would be easy to support or add new mod weapons. This mod isn't required to be a master or need load order adjustments, if you add that Keyword to a melee weapon it will just work or simply have no effect without this mod installed.
