'Magic!' Calls
The 'Magic!' call always comes from spells and when it comes from a ranged attack, cannot be blocked by a shield. If coming from a melee attack, a 'Magic!' call can be blocked by a shield. Anything that stops a spell will stop a 'Magic!' attack. It always counts as coming from the Battle school for defenses that care about the school of an attack.
The 'Magic!' call sometimes inflicts damage. You'll know if it is dealing damage if a number is used. Always use the number '1!' if for some reason you are dealing '1 Magic!' damage, otherwise it will only inflict the Jinxed condition and no damage.
The 'Magic!' call can also be used to modify offensive effect calls. When this happens the call still counts as a spell. When the call comes from a ranged attack, it cannot be blocked by a shield. The attack now applies the Jinxed condition in addition to whatever other conditions the other call applies. Any conditions applied by that call are now all removed when the Jinxed is removed. Any defense which prevents 'Magic!' prevents the entire call.
Offensive Effect Table
Any attack delivered by a melee weapon can be blocked by a shield, regardless of the call type.
