Magic Resistance in Andrew's sagas does not keep out magical things like a force field. It prevents magic from affecting the magus.

Two key principles:

  1. Magic that doesn't affect the magus is not kept out. If a spell puts a tiny pink dot on someone's sword, the sword is not then kept from hurting the magus. A magus who is under the effects of a Longevity Ritual or a Muto Imaginem disguise is not kept from slapping another magus.
  2. Having a Might Score does not make something magical. A dragon's teeth are not blocked by Parma Magica, but its breath would be.

Some more clarifying examples:

  • A sword affected by Edge of the Razor would do damage like a club because its magically-enhanced edge can't hurt the magus.
  • A magically-conjured wolf could not bite the magus, but a wolf with a Might Score could.
