	~~Of course~~...~~. mobs may~~ have ~~other ways~~ to ~~modify that damage~~, ~~but it ain't~~ RIS.		From the player perspective, this means damage from mobs launching those attacks at us cannot be reduced with Resistances.

			From the mob/builders perspective, this likely doesn't have a ton of impact. Those attack's damage type is probably SOMETHING, it's just not something we can see as players. I'm sure there's more than the 17 defined RIS damage types builder have access to and can set up RIS for.

			Of course, RIS aside, all a builder has to do is code a specific anti-attack prog to bypass the RIS system entirely, and that seems very common.

			==Spells Attacks, Damage, and Immunity==
			A bit confusing here, but we need to clarify how Spells work with RIS, because it turns out the I works a bit different than the R/S.

	~~==Other~~ Attack ~~Types==~~		*Spells count as Magic ATTACKS, that do RS Type DAMAGE.
			**Immunity: Checks against the Attack type.
			**Resist/Suscept: Checks against the Damage Type (the 17 above).

	There are of course many attacks~~/skills~~ which ~~are~~ not ~~classified~~ as one of those RIS affect types.		Spell DAMAGE is not inherently "Magic" just because casting spells is a magical ATTACK.
			**Thus spell damage is not inherently impacted by 'Resist Magic'.

			So, Immune Magic does block all spells, they will fail the attack check, but, Resist Magic does not reduce all spells damage. Damage is more specific than that, and you need to resist the specific damage type.


			*'''Example:''' Quantum Spike is a spell so it is a Magic Attack, but its Damage type is Energy.
			**Immune Magic would block the spell, casting would fail.
			**Resist Magic would have no effect
			**Resist Energy would reduce damage



			==Other Damage Types==

			There are of course many attacks which do damage that is not defined as one of those RIS affect types.

	This is testable by taking damage from an obvious damage ~~attack~~ type, let's say fire, in a place where it's easily repeatable, let's say a simple room prog you can trigger easily. Eat the damage with no resistance, let's say its 100hp. Add some resistance and do it again. Track the change in damage, and do some math.

	On the player-side of things, the only immunity I'm aware of players can use is the Mage's "Path of Countermagick" spell "Inviola Magicka" which makes you immune to magic for a short period.

			Please remember that as noted above, Immune Magic is a bit of special case and blocks all spell ATTACKS, regardless of their RIS damage type.
