You still wouldn't have line of effect if there was something in the way, as normal, since you can't just bounce spells off a mirror. It seems too situational to be of any real use, though, and only if the DM says you're at just the correct angle to see the target.Imagine a U-turn dungeon corridor with a giant mirror for back wall. You get close enough to see an Ogre, but there's still a wall in between you two. Unless you have something like a Burrowing psionic power (to get through the wall) or a spell that ignores line of effect (I think a good example is call lightning, which comes down from the sky and only works if there's no roof) there's not a lot that you can do.Although, it's arguable if a mirror would allow you to accurately target creatures. I mean, it seems like something a movie trickster would try to do. I'd make it a Skill Trick: Reflection Targeting (requires, say, Spot 5 ranks). "You have line of sight to a creature if you have line of sight to it's reflection. If it's reflection has cover (say, you only have a small mirror and can only see part of the creature) the target creature has the same cover. If the reflection is of poor quality (that is, moving water, a thin sheet of ice, etc... anything less than a clean mirror) then the target creature has cover."That way, you could only really use it once per encounter without specializing.</blockquote>
