Mindarmor

[Sektat]

In the magic item compendium there is an armor property "mindarmor" which grants 3 times a day (for 1 round) a + 5 to saving throws against mind affecting spells (as a immediate action).
So if an enemy spellcaster casts a spell at my character, and the DM says "now make your saving throw (will save)", am I allowed to activate the mindarmor at this point (I know it's immediate, but the spell has already been cast)? Isn't it too late then? But if I have to activate the mindarmor before he casts the spell, then the property seems useless to me.

You should be able to activate it then, yes, just like you can cast Feather Fall after falling into a pit trap.

Yes, you activate it when making the saving throw.

Unless you are flat footed then you can't take an immediate action.
