Resisting Spells

Summary

Spell damage taken is reduced by a minimum of (12.5% * (Magic Resist Skill / 100))
Spell damage taken is reduced by a maximum of (37.5% * (Magic Resist Skill / 100))
The chance to resist any hostile spell with a non-damaging effect such as Curse or Poison is ((40% - (Spell Circle * 5%)) * (Magic Resist Skill / 100))
Provides players with a (Effective Magic Resist Skill / 100%)) chance to avoid Spell Interruption from Creature/Environment Damage

In addition to normal spell damage reduction for Magic Resist, players now have a (25% * (Magic Resist Skill / 100)) chance to Absorb a spell cast by a creature
Absorbed spells will display with a pink/purple orb effect (similar to parrying)
An absorbed spell has its damage reduced by 75% (similar to the parrying effect)
When a player takes damage from a Spell cast by Creatures, they will receive a "Spell Siphon" bonus towards Melee/Spell Damage against Creatures of (1% * Spell Circle) for the next 60 minutes, with a max bonus of (25% * (Effective Magic Resist Skill / 100))
Spells cast by players against other players will increase their Spell Siphon bonus, with an 100% increase in the amount of Siphon Bonus applied (i.e. a player-casted Energy Bolt would generate a +12% Spell Siphon bonus, rather than the normal 6% bonus)
Players will receive a system message notification when their Spell Siphon max bonus is reached (but not on individual spells before that)
If a player is hit with further spells after reaching their max bonus, it will reset the duration of their current Spell Siphon bonus (60 minutes), but will not give any system message notifications
Players will receive a "Your spell siphon bonus has expired" notification if 60 minutes pass without being hit by a spell and their effect expires

Resisting Spells can be trained in one of two ways; By casting on yourself or Getting cast on by mobs
- Casting on yourself is much slower then being cast upon by mobs, but can be macroed AFK.
- Note for option 1: Spells must either be cast by yourself (on yourself) or by a friendly Player (same guild / alliance), the skill wont gain otherwise.

Skill Gain chance is much higher if the spell is cast by a creature
There is a limit on how much skill you can gain per mob. If you stop gaining, kill the mobs and continue with fresh ones
