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))

Spell Absorption

• 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

Training

• Up to 50.0 skill can be trained by a NPC mage vendor.
• Skill gains for Resisting Spells up to 70.0 are accelerated in the New Player Dungeon.

• While Resisting Spells can be gained through casting on yourself that is a slower method.
• Gain chance is better if the spell is cast by a creature.
• There seems to be a limit on how much skill you can gain per mob, about 0.4-0.6

• • 50-70 Let a skeletal mage, lich, ghoul etc in the New Player Dungeon cast on you. kill it after about 0.5 gain.
  • 70-100 head to a location that has skeletal mage, lich and ghoul. Let each cast on you till about 0.5 gain and kill it.
• Notes:
• Don't forget to heal yourself!
