Item Destruction bypassing reflection
Per the article, "The only item-destroying shock attacks that aren't blocked by reflection are those from electric eels, container traps, Mjollnir, and unusually high-level grid bugs. None of these is common so they can usually be avoided, so you don't need to keep backup rings if you're careful (but it still never hurts)."
I believe Energy Vortices should be in here as well -- their post-engulf shocking touch attack is not affected by reflection.
