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 (25% * (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))

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)
Additionally, each absorbed spell "stores" (2 * the amount of spell damage reduced) of damage for the player, up to a maximum of 250 damage
On the player's next melee hit or spell cast against any creature, the amount damage inflicted (after resist and armor is factored in) is increased by the total amount of "stored" damage for the player (and the player's "stored" damage amount is then reduced to 0)
If a player has not used their stored damage within 5 minutes, it is reduced to 0
