[Bug?] Shadowbolt ignores magic resistance.

from Elemental Forums

Running FE 1.32 . The victims' chance to resist is always 0% even for magic immune Ophidians and Obsidian golems. This is very convenient (for an empire based spellcaster) but still ultimately incorrect.

That is by design - this spell does damage magic immune creatures. It has no checks for resistance - being immune is the same as always resisting.

 

Regardless, this spell is still considered underpowered due to its pee-poor damage.

Underpowered? On a proper mage it's a one-shot killer.

It can become pretty powerful in FE, but it had an overhaul in LH. That's probably what's causing the confusion.
