2) MR does already seem to protect against it, or so it seemed to me when I tried it.
Are you sure you aren't just seeing the results of a good armour roll on the part of the targeted unit?

So I assume that is the devs intent, and wouldn't argue with it. Also, it seems correct, as it is a Water-1 spell, even if it is Alt-6, so otherwise it would be seem to me a really cheap automatic hit.
Well, it's not like water has anything else going for it on the battlefield, so that's really not that much of an issue.

As for comparing to lightning, shock resistance IS currently working there, and it also requires hitting with a missile effect and accuracy (doesn't frozen heart automatically hit?).
Lightning has +7 precision, and the fact that it's A2 requires that you will already have a base precision of at least 12. 19 precision spells don't miss very often.

As for comparing to incinerate, well that too is a weenie auto-hit spell which I believe is resisted both by fire resistance and by MR.
Incinerate is certainly not affected by MR, and it tends to do less damage than the other fire spells anyways, so that doesn't matter too much.
