Spell resistance

Spell resistance is ability to shrug off or protect yourself from the main effects of a spell. Wizards and witches may have natural spell resistance. Young witches and wizards may often lose control of their magical skills when they are under emotional strain. This may have a defensive use when in danger. Magical creatures and beings may also have a natural ability to resist spells. Giants and dragons have considerable spell resistance due to thick hides that repel all but the most concentrated and powerful spells, although they are still vulnerable to attacks on their eyes by spells such as the Conjunctivitis Curse, possibly owing to the eyes being weak. It also effects Part-giants.
