Pellet Blast and Damage Types


Rules Questions

Silver Crusade

Pellet Blast as a spell, has damage types for bypassing Damage Reduction based on the type of pellet; and it does piercing damage. The question I have is does the Damage from Pellet Blast count as Magic for purposes of bypassing Damage Reduction as (DR/5 Magic)?

Spell quoted from the PRD.

Thanks

PELLET BLAST
School conjuration (creation); Level magus 4, sorcerer/wizard 3, summoner 3
Casting time 1 standard action
Components V, S, M (a handful of metal pellets or handful of cold iron, silver, or adamantine pellets; see descriptions for cost)
Range 30 ft.
Area cone-shaped burst
Duration instantaneous
Saving throw Reflex half; Spell Resistance no
This spell creates an explosion of conjured metal pellets, striking everything within its area and dealing 1d8 points of piercing damage per two caster levels, maximum 5d8. This damage is subject to damage reduction. If the material component is made of cold iron (costing 50 gp), silver (costing 20 gp), or adamantine (costing 100 gp), the resulting blast can overcome damage reduction of the appropriate type. The pellets disappear after the spell is cast and the damage is dealt.


RAW, no. There is no notation of magic DR being bypassed.
