Magic Arena Red Direct Damage Dmg
ESO FAQ >> What Are Types Of Damage
Carnival deals 1 damage to target creature or planeswalker and 1 damage to that permanent's controller. Chain of Plasma deals 3 damage to any target. Then that player or that permanent's controller may discard a card. If the player does, they may copy this spell and may choose a new target for that copy. Oct 08, 2017 Note that that makes the card very different: previously only one planeswalker (or just the player) would take damage. A player with 2 walkers when this spell is cast. Your wording: Both walkers loses 2 loyalty, player takes 2 damage. Current wording: Either 1 walker loses 2 loyalty, or the player takes 2 damage.

In ESO there are a number of different damage types with associated effects, strengths and weaknesses. You will often see these referenced in the tooltips of abilities. You will see references to Magic Damage, Physical Damage and more. This tells you which type of damage is being applied to the target. The type of damage is important to note, because it determines what stats mitigate its damage and which buffs will increase its damage.
All types of damage are mitigated by either Spell Resistance OR Armor (Physical Resistance).
The different damage types are also effected by various buffs and passives, not to mention Champion Points.

The damage received from falling is also classified as Physical Damage.
Flame, Frost, Shock Damage
These damage effects are like Magic Damage but they also have slightly different additional effects. Flame, Frost and Shock Damage are still mitigated with Spell Resistance but they also have their own additional mitigation – Flame Resistance, Frost Resistance and Shock Resistance. These secondary mitigation apply on top of Spell Resistance. So for example Flame Damage will first be mitigated with Spell Resistance and then Flame Resistance before applying damage.
Flame Damage
Flame Damage has the chance to apply the Burning Status Effect which applies Flame Damage over time to the target. This effect deals moderate damage over 3 seconds.
Flame Damage will also have the chance to cause the Explosion Effect on NPC targets which are particularly susceptible to fire – such as zombies, troll and stranglers. The Explosion Effect deals a burst of Flame Damage but can only effect NPCs and not enemy players.
Vampires take 25% increased Flame Damage.
Frost Damage
Frost Damage has the chance to apply the Chilled Status Effect which reduces the target movement speed by 40% for 4 seconds.
