I am doing a bit of in depth research into all the different types of magical damage that can be done. I have looked through many different types of arcane wizards and magical attacks also from elementals and dragons. From this list below, is there any other type that your aware of; also are any of these redundant: like void and cold - can deal the same type of damage.
I have referred to the board regarding all damage types:
http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2kvvk?List-of-all-damage-types
Lastly, is there an easy to read list of all magical damage types, not necessarily from the schools of magic compendium.
Acid,
Blood (bleeding)
Air,
Cold,
Earth,
Fire,
Force
Electricity,
Metal,
Necrotic,
Radiant,
Shadow (illusion),

Wood

Negative energy
Positive energy
Some of these are not in Pathfinder, but might be in other games. For instance, necrotic and radiant are not Pathfinder damage types, probably closest to negative and positive energy, respectively. Air, Earth, Metal, Void, Shadow, Water and Wood are keywords for spells, but not damage types, as far as I know.

Thank you, that has answered a lot of the issues I have been having, I was using the PFSRD site. I know it uses more than just pathfinder and that was probably what was confusing me.
Did someone mention Poison? I think that's actually a type?
Old thread, but I'll play.
Poison is an elemental/damage type in D&D 4e and beyond. In older D&D (after 1st) and Pathfinder 1e, it's just a spell descriptor/keyword usually causing some type of debuff or ability damage. Not sure about PF2e.
"Light" is a damage type in a few spells I know of, but they might be 3pp, or at least old 3.x carry overs. Usually [Light] spells deal untyped, Holy, or Positive energy damage, if they deal HP damage at all. There are exceptions though. Thorn of Light immediately comes to mind.
D'oh!!! *facepalm*
This is what I get for posting before searching. Thorn of Light is 3pp, and it actually does magical piercing damage.
There are at least 2 or 3 spells that actually deal "light" damage from 3.5. I had them on an old sorcerer concept of mine, but I can't find the character right now. I know they did extra damage vs. undead, so they had some kinda divine flavor. There may not be any PF only light damage.
