Damage Type

The phenomenon of Damage Type is one of the factors which determines what Demons can be damaged by which Weapons. There are only two damage types: magic and nonmagic.

Many demons do not care about damage type and are affected by all attacks. While there are some exceptions, Cores are usually only affected by nonmagic damage.

In contrast to Weapon Colour which reduces damage to 25% if the wrong colour is used, demons can be totally immune to damage types and if an ineffective damage type is used, zero damage will result.

As a visual indicator, most demons which are immune to magic are black or otherwise very dark. These usually, but not always, have inverted cores which are immune to nonmagic.

The following weapons deal nonmagic damage: All other weapons are magic.
 * Aurora Slash
 * Flame Slash
 * Heart Slash
 * Heat Needle
