I think I get it. This might not quite be a RAW accurate example, but a PC archer targeting an NPC mage he doesn't realize is protected by Reverse Missile rolls a miss by 1 for an area where that doesn't hit anywhere else. A generous GM could treat it as being so close of a shot that it triggers "Reverse Missile"; as the shot would have barely grazed the mage's hair or clothes, the GM has the returned arrow similarly barely miss the archer, who likely now realizes that the mage is indeed protected.

Am I close?
