using Near Infinity, I tried to find anything about Incendiary Cloud that was different from Abi Dalzhim's and other spells that might explain it's bypassing magic resistance - the only thing of note, was that the spell category for most offensive spells is "offensivedamage" and for incendiary cloud, the spell catergory is "battleground."

I do not know the signficance of this.
