Subject: RE: I am the blob

I have been researching Morrowind's various spell/magic protection effects. It seems that Resist Magicka (note the "k") defends against "dead" effects such as attribute damage. It does nothing to mitigate elemental/poison damage or paralysis. There are spells for these, but I'm still looking into how effective they would be as enchantments. I suspect not very, so unless I find out differently, I'll just go with physical defense and not worry about the rest. I thought something like Sanctuary would affect a mage's aim, but it has no bearing on that. Oh well. Really, I suppose the best all-around defense against elemental magic is just having a good health pool and hoping enemy casters aren't very high-level.
