Various Newbie Gameplay Questions

Magic Resistance doesn't work on nearly all spells BTW. It works only against those "Magic resistance negates" spells.

Magic Duel has a great distance so the two Astral mages don't need to be next to each other. It needs to be scripted as far as I know. The Astral Mage with higher Astral most likely wins, but I think that the Dominions Random Number gives a fleetingly small chance that the duel results in a tie which means both mages die. Not sure.

Misform is a very good spell but Ethereal/Lucky combo is hard to beat. I forgot what level Personal Luck is though. You can get Luck easily from Lucky Pendant, a 2 Cons 1 Astral trinket.

Chaimail of Displacement gives just a defence bonus.

Prot 18, defence +3, enc 2 armor... and it used to give Mirror Image ability in DomII. Not sure if if still does, but the manual doesn't mention anything special. The defence bonus is very rare for body armors, I don't think anything else actually increases defence (but some have more powerful defenseive effects, like giving Etherealness or Invlunerability).

No it doesn't give MI ability in dom3. Neverthelss, its a good armor to give to the unit with already high def.
