Earth typically is physical damage and armor protects against it. Fire is armor piercing, meaning that armor is only half as good against it. Astral is commonly armor negating, armor doesn't protect at all. Armor doesn't protect at all against fatigue/stun damage (associated with Water), armor negating shock damage (Air), or poison (Nature).

They work exactly like the Stone Idol item.

Something with an appropriate range. Units scripted to cast don't move. Only if they're set to attack will they get closer to an enemy in case they can't hit them directly. Attacking isn't the same as firing, too.

Protect against everything, including your own. Don't try to teleport back into your domed capital.

No idea, might be buggy.

Against everything, AFAIK, like luck, but with a 100% chance and only once.

If they're set to guard the commander that is told to stay behind, nobody will move.

AFAIK that's right for unique units like that.
