mr seems to help alot vs generic magic damage then?

No, not at all. Don't feel like testing it now but Phoenix Pyre damage may be lessened by armor and I don't think it's all that much damage in the first place. In response to another question, IIRC correctly Pyre does 20 or 25 points of fatigue damage to the caster when he dies, but that's easy enough to test if you really want to know.

Edit: And blood vengeance isn't very good against anything with decent MR (such as any properly-outfitted SC) because the spell gives you the easily-resistable "Blood Vengeance +0). Anything attacking takes no damage if they resist the spell. The innate Blood Vengeance of something like a Vastness or a Doom Horror is a bit better at something like +2 or +3.
