Magic (spell element)

Magic is a spell element. Its Elemental Resistance variant is named Magicka; that name does not mean the character’s Spell Points.

Resistance bonuses help you save against matching hostile effects. The Elemental Resistance spell effect can prevent a matching spell outright. These are separate defences.

A Diamond adds matching resistance when socketed in armour or jewellery. See Grades and removal fees for exact bonuses.
