Magical Resistance
and Vulnerabilities


For Mages and
Elemental Monsters


An elemental monster's nature allows them certain privileges within their element. For example, a Genie takes reduced damage from air spells and attacks, however, they take additional damage from water spells and attacks. All elements and elementals have an inferior and a superior. The inferior is the element that is overpowered, and the superior is the element that can overpower them. The superiors and inferiors are as follows:

Primary	Superior	Inferior
Fire	Water	Earth
Water	Air	Fire
Air	Earth	Water
Earth	Fire	Air

ie. Earth's superior is Fire, so a Slime Monster takes additional damage from the Ball of Flame spell, but Earth's inferior is Air, so a Slime monster would be resistant to a Lightening spell.

Some Elemental monsters are True elementals, which is to say they are purely made up of the element in question, and some monsters are elemental sub-types. True elementals are often, but not always, Immune to spells of their own element. By contrast, a Gremlin has elemental power, but is not a true Elemental. They are considered a sub-type. Mages are also considered to be sub-types. Magical Resistance effects sub-types the exact same way as true Elementals Unless the specific listing says otherwise. If there is a difference between how the spell affects True Elementals vs. Sub-types it will be listed.

I have tried to list all of the resistances, but this should not be seen as a definitive list. Game Master discretion is actively encouraged. Also, if there a spell has a missing notation (ex. Wind Elementals are not mentioned on the Sabre spell--see below) then it is assumed the spell functions as normal.
