- | Some spells and abilities check a target’s magic resistance (MR). Magic resistance is most often binary in nature, it either protects the target or it does not, with nothing in-between. Against some spells a successful resistance check merely means crippling injuries rather than instant death. | + | Magic Resistance is one of three types of resistances in the game, the others being [[physical-resistance|Physical Resistances]] and [[elemental-resistance|Elemental Resistances]]. |
Some spells (mostly Astral) require the caster to defeat the target’s magic resistance before the spell can take effect. If a spell description states that “Magic resistance negates” then the following check is made: | Some spells (mostly Astral) require the caster to defeat the target’s magic resistance before the spell can take effect.

+ | ===== Buffing Magic Resistance ===== | ||
+ | All units have a Magic Resistance rating. If your opponent is using spells that target MR it may be worthwhile to buff the magic resistance of your troops and commanders. Magic resistance can be buffed in the following ways: | ||
+ | - An Astral [[blesses|bless]] can give up to +3 to MR. This stacks with other sources of MR. | ||
+ | - A number of spells give +4 MR. The generic spells are ??Resist Magic??, ??Iron Will??, ?? | ||
+ | - Some items, such as ??Amulet of Antimagic??, | ||
+ | - Fighting in provinces with Drain [[scales]] gives a bonus to MR. Conversely, fighting in provinces with Magic gives a penalty to MR. | ||
