High protection helps against Magma, but nothing helps you resist Bane Fire.
You can negate one attack (Twist Fate), reduce the second one to 1 point of
damage (Mistform) and make 50% of attacks fail (Luck). But that is it.

Thanks for the answers so far, guys. It's especially good to know that slaves get the communion bonus to paths they don't know.

Didnt someone post recently that MR helps defend against Bane Fire?

Only the decay effect.

Yeah, it was me:

I just tested it. The old age effect has to beat MR. The main damage cannot be
resisted by any means.
