This skill gives your spells the ability to pierce your enemies barriers and spell resistance. It decreases target mages' barrier resistance to spells.

Effects

Each level reduces enemy spell and barrier resistance to your spells by 1.25%. No longer affects creature spell resistance but does affect kingdom spell resistance (ex. from mind bar or sunray). Does not affect items.

if you can read code:

sub spell_resisted {

  my $caster_mage = shift;
  my $target_mage = shift;
  my $spell_color = shift;
  my $barrier_resistance = $target_mage->getBarrierResistance() / 100;
  my $sl_resistance = 0;
  my $barrier_piercing = $caster_mage->{mage_spellpiercing} / 100;
  
  my $color_resistance = 0;
  $color_resistance = $target_mage->getResistanceNether() if $spell_color eq 'NETHER';
  $color_resistance = $target_mage->getResistancePhantasm() if $spell_color eq 'PHANTASM';
  $color_resistance = $target_mage->getResistanceAscendant() if $spell_color eq 'ASCENDANT';
  $color_resistance = $target_mage->getResistanceVerdant() if $spell_color eq 'VERDANT';
  $color_resistance = $target_mage->getResistanceEradication() if $spell_color eq 'ERADICATION';
  
  $color_resistance = 75 if $color_resistance > 75;
  
  #Spell Penetration also reduces color resistance
  $color_resistance -= $caster_mage->{mage_spellpiercing};
  $color_resistance = 0 if $color_resistance < 0;
  
  $color_resistance /= 100;

  #check barriers
  if ( rand() < ($barrier_resistance + $sl_resistance - $barrier_piercing)) {
     return 0;
  }
  
  #check resistances
  if (rand() < $color_resistance) {
     return 1;
  }
  
  #not blocked
  return 2;

}

that is how blocking works. now as far as piercing ehh.
