Magic damage is one of the three types of damage in League of Legends, the others being physical damage and true damage. Magic damage is dealt by some items and most champions' spells, though some spells deal physical or true damage.

Statistics influencing magic damage Edit

Most magic damage can be increased with ability power, or attack damage in some rare cases, but some cannot be modified, such as Sunfire Cape's damage per second or Madred's Razors' effect against minions.

The amount of magic damage received is reduced by a certain percentage based on the target's magic resistance. The effectiveness of magic resistance can be reduced with magic penetration.
