How does resistance work?

Hey!

I was just wondering how the resistance & absorption mechanics work in the game. I know there is a 85% Resist Magic cap in the game, but how does Magic Resistance stack and work with Magic Absorption and Frost, Fire and Shock Resistance?

The reason I am wondering is that I'd like to implement som changes to my gear and Active Effects; Like changing from Mage Stone to The Atronach and spec full in the alteration tree to get 30% Magic Resistance and 30% Magic Absorption. I'm playing a spellsword kind of character! :)

Thanks on beforehand!
