Are blooded gaze attacks reflectable? I recently had to decide wheater the
Gorgon was slain when his death gaze was reflected. Also, can normal
protective magic prevail against blooded attack abilities? I.E. Can the
shield of madusae, which protects the weilder from stoning gazes, work
against the Gorgon's gaze.

Ever searching for answers,

While I really don't want to know who was taking on the Gorgon, I'd have
to say that the Gorgon, and all his powers, exist in a class all to
themselves. Such that unless a spell or item was specifically crafted to
work only against the Gorgon, it would be completely ineffective. I don't
think anyone knows enough, or has gotten close enough, to the Gorgon to
create something that would reflect his gazes.

While I think you can reflect a Blooded Gaze attack, a being should be
immune to thier own BAs. Of course if they encounter another with the same
power they would still be affected, but thier own powers can't be turned
against them. As for standard magical protections, they should protect a
character from certain Blooded attacks, but again they can't turn the power
back on its originator.

The Gorgon is immune to gaze attacks, especially his own, as he is (slowly)
turning to stone already.

Yes a protective shield would protect and reflect gaze attacks
