I'm somewhat conflicted on wether or not I could apply the effect of the defensive feedback arcane discoverie on the resistance class ability of the abjuration school of magic.
Defensive Feedback:
Rather than dissipate damaging energy, you can redirect some of it back to its source.
Benefit(s): When an abjuration spell you cast prevents damage (with damage reduction or energy resistance), if the attacking creature is within 30 feet of the protected creature, the foe takes 1d6 points of damage for every 10 points of damage prevented.
Resistance (Ex): You gain resistance 5 to an energy type
of your choice, chosen when you prepare spells. This
resistance can be changed each day. At 11th level, this resistance increases to 10. At 20th level, this resistance
changes to immunity to the chosen energy type.
So I would suppose that it is not applied, since Resistance is an extraordinary ability, which are not considered magical. On the other hand:
Energy Absorption (Su): At 6th level, you gain an amount
of energy absorption equal to 3 times your wizard level per
day. Whenever you take energy damage, apply immunity,
vulnerability (if any), and resistance first and apply the
rest to this absorption, reducing your daily total by that
amount. Any damage in excess of your absorption is
applied to you normally.
This ability is supernatural, and is considered to be magical. Could I apply the defensive feedback discoverie, or would it only work on fully fledged spells?
