Editing Magic resistance

{{About|This article refers to the special ability of creatures. For the secondary skill, see [[Resistance]].}} 

'''Magic resistance''' is a [[special ability]] of certain creatures, which grants them a chance to resist hostile spell effects. Magic resistance does not mean that the creature is [[spell immunity|immune]] to spells, and unlike with spell immunity, they can be target of any spell. 

Magic resistance of creatures can be increased with {{An|Garniture of Interference}}, {{An|Surcoat of Counterpoise}}, {{An|Boots of Polarity}} or {{An|Pendant of Reflection}}{{-wh}} [[artifact]]s. Contrary to artifacts like {{An|Bow of Elven Cherrywood}}, the hero wearing artifacts that increase magic resistance, doesn't need to have {{Ss|Resistance}} [[secondary skill]] in order of them to work. Although, with Resistance skill a hero further enhance the magic resistance of his troops. The special ability is negated if {{An|Orb of Vulnerability}} is present on the battlefield.

'''Creatures with magic resistance special ability:'''
* {{Cn|Dwarf}}
* {{Cn|Battle Dwarf}}
* {{Cn|Unicorn}}* 
* {{Cn|War Unicorn}}*
* {{Cn|Crystal Dragon}}
''<nowiki>*</nowiki> Unicorns and War Unicorns do not technically have magic resistance themselves, but they project an [[aura of magic resistance]] to adjacent hexes.''
