Deflect Arrows questions

"If the ranged weapon has a magical bonus to attack, the DC increases by that amount".

Would this include bonuses due to Bracers of Archery? It doesn't specify "an enhancement bonus", only "a magical bonus". Bless? True Strike? Divine Favor?

Or would these be "magical bonuses to the attack roll", but not fulfil the requirement of "if the ranged weapon has a bonus"?

Would the deflecting character sustain 1d6 damage for deflecting a Shocking Arrow, for example?

If someone deflects an arrow that an Arcane Archer has imbued with an area effect spell, would the spell go off at the point of impact with the character's hand, or when it hit the ground/wall/whatever? Grenade-like weapons Miss Table to decide where it ends up, maybe?

I'd assume only the enchantment of the projectile would count toward increasing the DC.

If the arrow is imbued with an area effect, fireball for example, I'd say you can deflect the arrow (thus avoiding the arrow damage) but still suffer the fireball effect (reflex save for half).
