From the book

For 1 minute per level of ability, any wound dealt to the caster by a physical attack is felt by the attacker as well. If a blow takes 7 points from the caster, the one who struck it suffers the same 7 points. Magical attacks and missile weapons are not turned back this way.

A scene

The overseer on the Tartessian galley likes his whip, and the chained shaman at the third oar has been giving him insolent looks all morning. He brings the lash down across her back. She does not flinch. Instead the overseer howls and staggers, and a red welt blooms across his own shoulders, matching hers stroke for stroke. He stares at her. She smiles and nods at the whip, inviting him to try again. He does, once, out of pure rage, and then he lies on the deck for a while.
