Talk:Magic resistance/@comment-2603:9005:407:2F40:D1EB:BFE3:F148:FCC7-20191229212556

Just a point of minor clarification on the text above, quoted as follows: "Magic Damage resistance reduces the damage you would take if the spell is successful - like poison, fire etc."

Magic Damage Resistance reduces the damage from Magical Energy. It won't absorb or reduce any poison, fire, cold or electricity damage. Magic energy will be found in magic missiles, Horrid Wilting and a host of other spells. It is different than a fireball's damage, or a poisoned throwing dagger, or a wand of cold. Some folks get confused by this.
