→Resistances
===Resistances===
[[Magic ]] is a fickle and unpredictable force, and every character and creature is able to resist the effects of spells. The chance of successfully avoiding the effects of a dangerous spell is primarily affected by [[Level]], but outside factors may give the character a bonus. The Resistance ratings displayed in the Character Information screen display only bonuses granted from outside sources.
'''Magic''' resistance protects the character from spells that expel raw magical energy, or spells that attempt to change or transform the character’s physical form.
'''Fire''' resistance provides [[defense ]] against fire spells of all types. It can also help to resist the attacks of [[creatures ]] and [[weapons ]] that use fire or heat to cause damage.
'''Lightning''' resistance defends against electrical attacks of all types, from lightning bolts to the powerful charges exuded by certain creatures.
