And the one that's really important to me; do they provide protection against creature special attacks like kincher electroshock and ocyx fiery breath? I haven't the opportunity just now to test this but I suspect they don't. I realise some special attacks are not magical in nature - gingo dust kicking and jugula venom, for example - but the protection provided by jewellery surely is magical.
Jewelry protection does work against NPC spells, as long as they are actually spells like we use them and not spell-like special attacks.
It works against cutes/frahar/gibbai, who use rot/fire/cold spells on you, it works against all plants who use spells on you (cratcha poison, jubla shockwave, psykopla shockwave/electric, shooki fire, and stinga cold), and as far as I can tell it works against bandit casters as well.
It does not work against creature special attacks. Like xenofur said it's bugged here, the system info says that damage is absorbed but you still take the full damage. Last I tested this goes for goari electric attack, lumper acid attack, najab rot spit, tyrancha acid spit, yber shockwave attack, zerx acid spit, kincher electric attack, kinrey acid spit, kipesta fire attack, and kirosta poison attack. I don't know whether jewelry is supposed to work on these attacks or not
Ocyx fire breath and jugula venom are special cases in that the system info doesn't say any damage is absorbed. So I assume jewelry really isn't meant to work on these two.
As for special attacks like gingo blind, madakam madness, vorax fear and kipee stun, it's hard to test whether resistances work on them. But because these are definitely spell-like effects and not actual spells like we cast them,, I assume they don't.
