Hi people please explain to me how resist spell works?
I mean I casted Enervation which is a spell with no saves. I got spell resisted? Is this magical resistance (i don't think so) or it will say. I can't go around as a magic user since any spell i use just gets resisted.

first resistance is checked...
then saves are checked... then damage reduction is applied... Resistance has nothing to do with saves.

item SPOILER
- - - -- - - I got the lesser amulet of the master (which gives spell resistance: 12) and the girdle of shimmering (which gives another 12), but whenever i equipped both, i had only 12 in the character sheet instead of 24. Why is this ?

Well SR is one of the things that isn´t stacking in this game.. which is a suprise!
Most other things do which is a total munchkin mayhem! Boots that give dexterity stack with rings, bracers etc etc.. Nope. Ability bonuses and ability raising potions/magic DO NOT STACK.. So espacially for Neb.. This is not 100% 3:ed

It's 12% magic resistance. That means 12% of spells cast at you will fail. This is fairly low, but anything higher is pretty strong. Remember, this is checked before saving throws, so you still have another roll after this. I believe that magic resistance only applies to hostile magic, but I think it should apply to all magic.

Spell resistence works like this. Wizard A cast spell on target B (If you like you can call them Adam and Benny for all I care). Adam (lets stick with this one) is level 5 caster (wizard 5, if he has other spellcasting levels they are counted separately). Benny however has a nifty ring of Spellresistence giving him a SR of 12. Adam then rolls a D20, a so called casterlevel check. He rolls 7, adds five for the caster level giving him a total of 12. Voila, his spell effects Benny that now has to roll saving throws and wish that the DM is a nice person... Alas, SR gives a value you have to roll equal or over with with a D20 plus caster level plus feats. So, 12 in SR is not much, for a first level character however it is something like 50% roughly. Later on it is worthless, so the SR items is pretty overrated when you climb levels. Drow has for instance a SR equal to their character level plus 10 or 12 I think it was. Much better...
