What were the other 10 spells? Magic resist only affects
magic-based attacks (lightning, force, charm, probably root
and DoTs). Spells can also be fire or cold based, and magic
resist will not help against those. That's why I recommend
Elemental Rhythms over Guardian Rhythms if you're only going
to be singing/playing one Rhythm song.
