Resist Magicka
  • Wearing constant Resist Magicka items is very useful when facing magic-casting opponents or when equipping items like the Boots of Blinding Speed that attempt to put a negative magic effect on you.

    Checking the list below, you'll see that the Savior's Hide cuirass combined with just the Ring of Phynaster and Mara's Blouse will give a 90% magicka resistance. Once you get Wraithguard, it'll be 100%! Just remember that magicka resistance doesn't protect against spells that have shock, fire, frost, poison, paralysis, or disease effects.


    Item               Strength   Location
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Cuirass of the       60%      The Hall of Fyr in Tel Fyr (Tel Aruhn)
    Savior's Hide
    Ebony Mail           20%      Reward for Saryoni's last Temple faction quest
    Ring of Phynaster    20%      Senim Ancestral Tomb (Ald Daedroth)
    Mara's Blouse        10%      In Berandas (Gnisis) while doing Lalatia Varian's
                                   Imperial Cult quest to get the Boots of the Apostle
    Wraithguard          10%      Vivec has it in his palace (Vivec)


    There are no items that cast a powerful (50% or more) Resist Magicka when used, but you can enchant items to do so fairly easily. For instance, an exquisite ring or amulet could be made to cast a 100% Resist Magicka for a duration of up to 12 seconds.
