Weapons, spells, and abilities deal one of two damage types: physical damage (phy) or magic damage (mag). Some mechanics interact with damage types to affect how damage is dealt or received—for example, a spell might double magic damage, a condition might make a character resistant to physical damage, or an adversary might be immune to a damage type altogether.

• Physical damage is dealt through mundane physical blows, usually without the aid of magic. Most standard blades and bows deal physical damage.
• Magic damage is dealt through magical means. Most harmful spells deal magic damage.
