[[Kingdom Resistance]], otherwise known as 'Spell Resistance' (although referred to as [[Kingdom Resistance]] to differentiate between it and [[Spell Resistance|Unit Spell Resistance]]), is the chance that a mage has to completely resist an enemy mage's spell if the mage's [[barriers]] fail to initially resist the spell. [[Barrier Resistance]] functions similarly to [[Kingdom Resistance]]; whereas [[Barrier Resistance]] offers a mage a chance to resist all spells of any color, [[Kingdom Resistance]] assigns a resist value to each of the five colors, and thus, offers a different chance to resist spells of each color. It is easiest to think of [[Kingdom Resistance]] as a 'second chance' for a mage to resist spells, if his [[barriers]] happen to fail. If the [[barriers|barrier]] roll happens to fail, another roll will take place, which is assigned whatever value is set for that specific color. Essentially, this offers a mage additional protection against harmful spells, whether in or out of battle.

{{pentagram}}
There are a couple of methods that are capable of adding value to [[Kingdom Resistance]]:
* [[Spells]], such as {{blue}}[[Mind Bar]] (which adds to {{white}}{{green}}{{red}}{{black}}{{blue}} resistances) or {{green}}[[Sunray]] (which adds only to {{black}}{{blue}} resistance)
* [[Unique Items]], including [[Chaos Ward]], [[Black Ankh]], [[Spectacles of True Seeing]], [[The Sinner]], [[Lucky Charm]], and [[St. Nara's Lock of Hair]], all of which offer [[Kingdom Resistance]] to one color (first three) or all colors (latter three)
<br>
'''Notes:'''<br>
* [[Kingdom Resistance]] values can easily be viewed by checking a mage's Status Report, which, under '[[Barrier Resistance]]', lists the chance to resist spells of each color
* Mages of all colors have access to [[Kingdom Resistance]]-granting spells (the only color that does not have a resistance-granting spell of its own is [[Eradication]], although they can employ [[Verdant]] and [[Nether]] spells if they so wish, in addition to [[Ascendant]] and [[Phantasm]] spells if purchased independently from the [[Exotic Mageware]] section of the [[Black Market]])
* The effect of increased [[Kingdom Resistance]] can often be understated; while the maximum [[barriers|barrier protection]] roll will only be pierced 25% of the time, if a mage also has all colors' [[Kingdom Resistance]] at 75, the chance that a spell pierces both the [[barriers|barrier]] and [[Kingdom Resistance]] rolls drops to 6.25%, giving the mage a 'total resistance chance' of 93.75% when the rolls' chances are multiplied
** It is important to note that having all [[Kingdom Resistance]]s at 75 is difficult, but the usefulness is obvious nonetheless
