Resisting Spells

Shrug off spells and take less from the ones that land.

Overview

Resisting Spells is the only spell defense on Perilous Legends: there are no elemental resistances.

What It Does

• Each spell rolls to resist: your chance is the larger of Resist/5 or Resist minus (caster's Magery - 20)/5 minus 5 per circle, halved. A resisted spell does 75% damage.
• On top of that, damage is scaled by the caster's Evaluating Intelligence against your Resist: every 2 points you have over them cuts 1%.
• Protection does not lower it here.
• It gains while your skill is below (circle + 1) x 10 + 25, so let higher circles hit you.

On Perilous Legends

• Spellbinding jewelry enchantment: +5/10/15/20 Resisting Spells by quality.
• Pets can raise theirs through pet equipment, affinity and pet power scrolls.
