Increased Blaster Bolt Deflection damage?

Deflecting blaster bolts back at enemies usually results in really negligible damage for me, even though I have considerable upgrades to my lightsaber. My question is, does the Increase Blaster Bolt Deflection property also increase the damage done by deflecting a bolt back at the enemy or just the chance to deflect it? If it's the latter, is it possible to increase the return damage and not just the possibility of returning damage?

Thanks.

Thanks.My Super Enhanced Mod adds the ability to do more of what you want.

Here is a demo of what it can do in this video I made when testing out the different recording functions and codecs on how it would turn out on YouTube.

When I learned about your Super Enhanced Mod I was already halfway through K1 and decided against installing it in case it messed anything up. Now I'm halfway through TSL and am only just realizing that the mod is a TSL mod as well. But I don't know if I want to install it at this point. During the next playthrough, maybe.

Since you increased the damage for blaster fire and upped blaster bolt deflection separately, I take that increasing blaster bolt deflection does not affect the damage returned? I'd really like to know more about the mechanics behind blaster bolt deflection, if you'd care to enlighten me.
