Usefulness. Gaining a resistance to magic can negate a percentage of all incoming spells. It is more versatile than elemental resistance as it covers all kinds of magical damage instead of just fire, frost, or shock individually.
Does resist fire stack?
Resistances do not stack. Now if you have resistance to fire and you make your save against dragon fire for half damage, then you would take 1/4 damage there because you have two different kinds of damage reduction.
Can you stack resistance?
Multiple instances of resistance don’t add together. Either you have resistance to an instance of damage or you don’t (see PH, 197). No matter how many things give you resistance to the damage you’re taking, you get to apply resistance to that damage only once.
How do you get 100 Magic absorption in Skyrim?
A permanent 80% spell absorption can be achieved by any race of character by using the Atronach Stone (50%) and choosing the Atronach Alteration perk (30%). This can be pushed to 100% absorption in three ways: Becoming a Vampire and then obtaining the Necromage Restoration perk.

7 Answers. Dragons are vulnerable to fire: well, at least some of them. There are many types of dragons, but they fall into two major archetypes: fire dragons and frost dragons. Fire dragons are vulnerable to frost (25% weakness) but resistant to fire (50% resistance).
How are resists and Magick related in Skyrim?
Resist magic sources are additive, but are multiplicative with element resists. I have copied text below I wrote in another post: Magic resist does reduce elemental damage, but separately from the resists. Elemental Resists and Magic Resists cap at 85%. Magick absorption caps at 80% (without the breton daily power).
Are there things that resist magic doesn’t affect?
So the question is: Is 85% elemental resists (because Resist Magic is capped at 85% I won’t use 100% in this example) the exact equivalent of 85% Resist Magic? Are there things that Resist Magic affects, but the Elemental Resists don’t? — LakeSolon 01:53, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
Which is more versatile elemental resistance or resistance to magic?

Why does resits magic caps at 100%?
I would say that Resits Magic caps at a 100% because you can only resist (logically) what magic comes towards you. Resist Magic makes you immune to any type of spell, so no Healing spells from others effect you. Im fairly sure your own spells still get you however.
