Being a new barb I do not know a lot about magic resistance but I understand your circle, stats and inner fire determine your level of BMR. I think that our magic ranks should should provide a TINY TINY TINY boost to our resistance as well. The only way we can learn magic is by listening to those tree huggin, moon gazin finger wagglers. So a mage teaching us how they use magic is akin to letting an enemy general how many troops you have and your battle plan. It just makes sense that magic ranks should help us avoid/overcome their magic if we know how it works.

With that said, I do not know what negative effects of learning magic there is in place. But if there are, maybe there should be evaluated.

We're actually headed in the opposite direction. There aren't any negative effects for having magic ranks yet but there will be in the future.

damn .03% of MD..... if they make magic hurt us in the future there better be some quest or pilgrimage to make it go away.... or maybe just wake up Mo so I can go talk with him and he can hit my with his Turkey leg of Power and I will lose all Magic skill.... all .03% of it.....

Yes, but it will actually take time. Not ::walk into church, look around, repent repent repent:: or whatever.

Also currently the mechanics don't seem to check that you actually learn any magic. Just beginning to listen to a class and stopping before the first pulse will nuke your inner fire, hopefully we can see the ranks and it's not really at .001% or something because that would suck.
