Magic Resistance
J
Spirit

Magic Resistance (対魔力, Tai-Maryoku?, localized as "Anti-Magic"EX) grants protection against magical effects. Differing from the Resistance effect that merely rejects Magical Energy, this ability cancels the spells altogether.

Magic Resistance is the Class Skill of the Saber, Lancer, Rider, Archer, Ruler, Shielder, MoonCancer, and Watcher classes.

Rank User(s)
EX Baobhan Sith (Lostbelt), Karl der Große, Kiichi Hougen, Watcher (Fate/strange Fake)
Jeanne d'Arc, Jeanne d'Arc Alter (Ruler), Martha (Swimsuit)
Due to their unwavering piety, the Saint-type Rulers boast great Magic Resistance. Instead of negating magecraft, it simply diverts the magic elsewhere, making them impossible to hit even by magecraft from the Age of Gods. Magic attacks that cover a wide area can still hit them, however, and sacraments from the Church negates the resistance all together.[1][2]

Diarmuid Ua Duibhne (Saber)
Diarmuid's resistence was originally Rank B, but it is being raised up to Rank A+ due to the effect of one of Beagalltach.

Unlike the resistence possessed by the Saint-type Rulers, Quetzalcoatl resistance is more based around enduring damage. Even if its damage that could be avoided, she will still take it head on.
Archetype: Earth (Servant)
As Magecraft and Sacraments are human copies and recreations of things that happen on Earth they do almost nothing to Archetype: Earth, from whom the phenomena originate. However, things that do not originate from Earth might have the ability to hurt her, for example curses crafted only from elements of human society. As such only Modern Magecraft and Internet Magecraft may have the capability of hurting her.[4][5]
A Cancel spells of A-Rank or below, no matter what greater magecraft it is. In practice, the Servant is untouchable to modern magi.[6]
