Vulnerability, resistance, and immunity can apply to non-magical sources of damage, magical sources of damage, or both. Generally, vulnerability and immunity apply to both, although exceptions exist. Magical sources of damage include spells, and weapons that have an enchantment value of at least {{em|+1}}. | |||

''Vulnerability'' means the total damage taken from a type of damage is {{em|doubled}}. When inspecting an entity, vulnerability is indicated by a downwards red arrow on the corresponding element. The game doesn't seem to include any creatures that have vulnerability only to non-magical or only to magical sources of damage. | |||

''Immunity'' means the total damage taken from a type of damage is {{em|reduced to 0}}. This means the creature takes no damage of that type, even if another effect applies vulnerability to the same type. When inspecting an entity, immunity is indicated by a yellow outline around the shield of the corresponding element. | |||
