Spell reflection

Can someone explain how this occurs or how it works? I can't find any solid info anywhere but the way some of the in game set items list abilities, it seems like something that can occur even if you don't have a specific ability/skill to do it.
The syrabane set comes to mind. The 5 piece bonus gives you X magicka when you reflect a spell. Its light armor. With there being so few actual skills that say they reflect spells, it seems that there has to be some other system in the game that can cause it. Does having a high spell resistance give a chance of reflection, or if you actively block a spell coming at you, does that give a chance of reflection?
@ZOS_GinaBruno is there perhaps a reference anywhere that explains some of these systems? I've seen some of you ZOS exmployees explain them in detail but can never find a resource other then you guys. Well, other then complete speculation from players guessing and internet forums tossing out untested garbage.

I know of two: Defensive Posture (in the 1HS line) and Dragon Scales (in the DK Draconic Power skill line). There could very well be more, but these are off the top of my head.
That said, given these are tanking abilities, it's odd to find that bonus on a light armor. Presumably there are way more that I just don't know of?0 -
mndfreeze✭✭✭Thats part of why I'm confused and why it seems like there is more to spell reflection then just abilities because really, there are not very many in the game that I can find. And it seems such a specific rule for a set armor, especially its 5 piece 'big' bonus if reflection really is ONLY a skill ability and a semi rare one at that.0

mndfreeze✭✭✭And it looks like this is going to sink into oblivion with no real answer. =( Sure wish I knew if I could benefit from my 5 piece bonus with my armor set or not.0
