I am uncertain what I am seeing in regard to the Resist Magic spell/buff.

Units show the purple icon, and right clicking on it says it grants plus five crosses. But these are not reflected under "resist" under the unit's stats. Which makes me wonder whether the buff is actually being applied -- some pretty unlikely confusion and possession spells seem to be getting through with unexpected frequency.

Conditional buffs that work against specific effects only don't add crosses because those are generic purpose and work vs everything.
In particular, Resist Magic does not grant resistance against non-magical effects, currently the only such thing in the game is poison.

Thanks.

I'll have to keep an eye on moments when Confusion spells get through. The arithmetic can be tough to reconstruct in retrospect, but if resistance plus resist magic 5 minus Black Prayer 2 = 12 then Confusion (with its -2 to save) should never work, correct? And it the sum is 11, then it should have only a 10% chance of working?

You've got the best game around here, but I sure do miss the modern games' ability to give you a log showing the rolls and arithmetic.
