I found a couple of times these new shields of magic resistance. I was wondering how they actually resist magic like slow or striking spells. Is it a percentage reduction? Are elemental spells considered magic, effectively making the shield a resist all? And also, how much resistance it provides compared to other items like rings or cloaks?
I currently have a nice shield of electricity resistance and am hesitant to swap it for one of magic resistance. I remember in my last playthrough I was badly damaged by a lightning spell while wielding a shield of magic resistance (can't remember how much it was enchanted, though), so I figured it provided less resistance, but for a wider range of sources.
Any insight would be much appreciated!
