Magic Damage

In the game: +X magic damageReduced against players

How it works

Magic Damage adds a range of magic damage to your attacks, on top of the weapon's physical damage. It is a separate damage type from fire, cold, lightning and poison.

Magic damage is reduced by the monster's magic resistance, and a magic-immune monster takes none of it.

Enhanced Damage does not raise added magic damage, and Life Leech does not leech from it.

Source: itemstatcost.txt (magicmindam, magicmaxdam) and properties.txt over the property codes of the game's item tables, the runeword lines and skills.txt (build 3.3.93847). Magic affixes are the ones that can spawn; a runeword's line includes what its runes add in that slot. “LoD 1.14d” is the value in classic Diablo II's last patch where it differs (uniques, set items, runewords' own bonuses, runes and gems; from blizzhackers/d2data); a D2R chip marks what 1.14d did not have. “Strongest” ranks items by the top of their roll range. · Report incorrect data
