Resisting Spells
Combat · Skill guide
Help resist hostile magic and its effects. Maximum skill: 100; useful alongside Magery for practice.
Summary
- Use: Keep the skill set to Up while receiving magical attacks that perform a resistance check.
- No active skill button is needed.
- 100 skill does not mean immunity, and different spells have different resistance rules.
- Resisting Spells stops at 100; it has no active Power Scroll.
Training
Set Resisting Spells to Up ↑ and leave room under your 720 total skill cap.
| Skill Range | Recommended Activity |
|---|---|
| 0–50 | Buy an optional lesson from a Mage for 300 gold; it raises this skill directly to 50.0. |
| 50–80 | Cast at Academy magic crystals to receive their harmless resistance-training pulses. |
| 80–100 | Receive eligible hostile spells, such as Magic Arrow from a practice partner; heal between attempts. |
Right-click the teacher NPC, select the skill’s training entry, then give 300 gold. You need a skill cap of at least 50 and room for the entire lesson under your total cap.
Mechanics & Scaling
The exact result depends on the incoming spell and its resist calculation, not a single flat reduction. In PvP only, real skill from 80 to 100 follows a steeper resistance-power curve so Grandmaster 100 provides the intended maximum effectiveness. Native and PvE interactions remain separate.
Additional rules & notes
- Use a permitted practice location; move outside town if city aggression rules block the spell.
Location & Instructors
- Trainer NPC: Mage NPC to 50.0.
- Academy: Receive qualifying resistance-training attacks to 80.0.
