[.915 Bug] Strategic Magic Effects Creatures With Magic Immunity

Conditions:

'Pillar Of Flame' Spell on stack of Ophidians does damage. This shouldn't happen as they have magic immunity.

Magic does not affect them in combat.

The thing about magic immunity is, despite the name and description of the ability, it doesn't actually make you immune to all forms of magic.  It just boosts magic resistance by an extra 100 points.  Sounds great, until you realize that damaging spells (and all strategic spells, I'm pretty sure) completely ignore magic resistance.  So while you won't be able to Slow those ophidians at all if you're in combat with them, you can pretty easily burn them to death with fire spells, or immobilize them with Tremor.

Magic does work on them in combat. The "magic immunity" just means they have 100 magic resistance more than they normally should. This means that debuffing them (or skills that requires them to resist) is much harder. But still completely possible. It's just poor wording.
