Resistances  

In addition to the normal Statistics that describe how strong, fast, durable, and so forth a character is, there is also a set of statistics, known as Resistances that show how likely a player is to withstand certain magical effects thrown at them.

In the early stages of the game, there were plans for Resistances to be based on the eight Winds of Magic, although this is no longer the case in current builds of the game (presumably eight resists was seen as too many). At the moment, there are three resistances which correspond to different damage types you can find in spells and special attacks:

• Corporeal Resistance: Resist certain physical effects, such as bleeding. Note that this is different than physical damage.

• Elemental Resistance: Resist elemental attacks, such as fire.

• Spirit Resistance: Resist spiritual attacks, such as various holy magics.

For information about which Abilities correspond to each resist type, please check out the Resistance and Damage Types Guide.
