After all the testing I have done (with 0mres and 100mres) and casting ebolt and fs on me I got the first "you resist the spell" message after zillions of magic attacks. So i think the mres should be checked. As I posted before I got gain from 0mres when I was walking on magic fields even though Im not even supposed to resist them and therefore unable to gain any skill. So it makes me wonder how does the mres actually work in pol99 since u get the "you resist the spell" message one of 1000th and seems like it doesnt really matter anything on damage since its already pretty low now and u still gain skill without resisting.
Also Mccomb can you tell us what are the magic damage formulas? :O
