Does your magic resistance influence how much magicka is absorbed from the spell?

I'm wondering if the more resistance to magic you have, the less magicka is absorbed when the absorption activates because you're taking less damage from the spell. Is the amount of magicka you get from the absorption based off of how much damage you would have taken from the spell (which means that less resistance = more absorbed) or is it based off of the spell you're absorbing?

I would test this myself, but the resistance bug is stopping me.

No one knows?

Well, i think they act seperately, like it was in oblivion? not sure, but anyway if you have 50% spell absorption and 40% magic resist than there's a 50% chance you'll absorb the full magic damage and a 50% chance you'll get hit, but take only 60% magic damage.

Huh that's a good question. I'll figure out some way to answer this after 1.3

So you think that you'll absorb the same amount of magicka regardless of your magic/elemental resistances? I wish someone had definite knowledge regarding this. It would also be pretty easy to test myself....the patch can't come soon enough.

Do note that magic and elemental resistances act differently. Magic res is a percentage chance to ignore the spell all together where as with elemental resistance you resist the said percentage of the damage every time.
But to the question in hand, my guess is that they work independently, but the question is which one does the game check first. It would be logical to check ignoring effects first (as in absorption and then spell resistance) and then if the spell gets past them it checks elemental resistances.

Magic absorption is the ignoring one that you're thinking about, not resistance.

Magic resistance works the same way it does in Oblivion, where the word "magic" is a blanket term which encompasses every magic effect in the game. It reduces the damage of all spells by X%. After that check is passed, the damage is further reduced by your elemental resistances by X%, up to a maximum of 85% for both.

The "checking" order goes absorption -> magic resistance -> elemental resistance.

My question is basically asking if your magic and elemental resistances influence how much magicka is absorbed. I'm pretty sure that it doesn't at this point, considering that spell absorption is checked before magic resistance.
