This is important, because one of the PCs in my IST game is considering taking Malediction-Proof on their Reflective DR.

Does it bounce the amount of damage normally, which they then resist against themselves?

Does it do nothing (like the goggles)?

Does it do something else?
Use the same rule as for normal reflected damage, replacing "active defense" with "resistance." That is, the first time it happens, the attacker doesn't get a resistance roll. He gets his usual resistance against subsequent reflected attacks.

Regarding the other comments in this thread, the Reflection enhancement only interacts with damage. It has no special effect when resisting Afflictions -- your DR adds normally, but it won't bounce the Affliction back, whether Malediction is involved or not.
