 Against most effects, Magic Resistance either works or doesn't work. Against some magic, however, Magic Resistance only halves effects. Examples include the enervating light of ??Stellar Cascades?? and the enervating darkness of ??Shadow Bolt??. Against most effects, Magic Resistance either works or doesn't work.

-In addition, some magic has secondary or tertiary effects that may require additional Magic Resistance rolls to prevent. In certain cases, you can resist the main part of a spell, but still get hit with the side effects. For example, the odds of resisting the damage of a ??Nether Bolt?? but still getting [[Afflictions|Feebleminded]] are low, but never zero. A fair amount of spell have side effects that really only matter if the main part of the spell is resisted, such as ??Syllable of Death?? attempting to [[Fatigue]] the target after either succeeding or failing to "instakill" them.+In addition, some magic has secondary or tertiary effects that may require additional Magic Resistance rolls to prevent.
