I am confused by some of these answers. From the manual:
Quote:
Some spells (mostly Astral) require the caster to defeat the target’s Magic Resistance before the spell can take effect. If a spell description states that “Magic resistance negates” then the
following check is made:
Caster’s Penetration roll: 10 + DRN + (additional skill in spell path) / 2
Target’s MR roll: Magic Resistance + DRN + (skill in spell path) / 2
The caster wins ties. Note that not all targets will have any magic skill, much less skill in that
spell’s path, so often the target will simply add Magic Resistance and the DRN.

where DRN are two die rolls (1 to 6 each) with 6's getting an additional roll.
