I don't quite understand what resistances do. I have 2 cases:

wizard's fire shield (red) has 2 effects
- stat: fire res modifier
- stat: reduced damage form magical fire modifier

potion of fire res has only one effect
- stat: stat: fire res modifier

Does it mean that potion of fire resistance does not protect from magical fire at all? Or what?

[Gort]

anyone? At least, which kind of fire is considered magical and which is not?

I'm still half asleep, but I think the game might actually not use the "magic cold/fire" attributes at all.

Of course it might depend on the game you're playing.

the game is bg2

It doesn't. Magical fire resistance does nothing.

So, the "Magical fire resistance" is an old engine relic, I wonder, could it be used for a new damage type?(plasma...)

As I recall, it crashes the game if any spell or item actually uses it.

Easy enough to check. I'm curious about the Soul Eater damage type, too.

If soul eater damage kills a monster then game crashes. I've learned that nearly a year ago.
