Reflect Prison

[Cúangol]

Scenario:
Gandalf casts Prison on Saruman.

Saruman’s player says “Reflect“ (or equivalently “Bane”).

Question:
Is Gandalf considered the caster of the Prison, and thus able to put the Prison Down right away (or use it for an unexpected protection)?

Or is Saruman the de facto caster, through Reflect (or Bane)?

I could not see you wording in the rulebook which clarifies this.

From Page 100, specifically the third sentence, emphasis mine:

Return: A specific defense was used against the attack, and the attacker will automatically be struck by what- ever the original attack was. They may use any applicable defenses they have against this Returned attack. If an attack is bounced back via a Return defense, the one who used Return is now the official “caster.” A Return defense will act as a Guard when used against Ingested delivery, a trap, or a Killing Blow.
