How does Magic Resistance work?

I find the MR in game quite confusing.

Does 50% MR mean i take 50% damage from a spell? What if its a spell does not have magnitude like Paralyze, i have 50% chance to dodge the effect or it will have 50% duration? Does 100% MR completely negate every spell? Dragons' fire and frost breath, do they count as a spell too?

With 100 Enchanting and an Elixir of Enchanter, i can enchant MR for 22% and Fire(Frost Shock) resist for 55%,this means i need 6 enchants to be immune to elemental damage, but i only need 3 enchants to have 100% MR(3 enchants give 66%. Agent of Dibela gives 15 and Lord Stone gives 25), but i dont know if 100% MR also works on dragon breath.
