Accumulative Magic Resistance

-Types of Affected Magic Damage
When a notorious monster is repeatedly hit by the following types of magic, it will accumulatively build magic resistance:

Black magic (elemental), white magic (divine), ninjutsu, magical blood pact abilities, magical blue magic, magical weapon skills (e.g., Spirits Within and Red Lotus Blade), and certain job abilities (e.g., Chi Blast and Mijin Gakure)

-Resistance Fluctuation
When a monster with accumulative magic resistance is hit by a magic attack, the amount of damage it receives will decrease in accordance with that monster's resistance. At the same time, its resistance will increase.

The monster's resistance will increase in accordance with the amount of damage incurred, but each monster has a maximum resistance level.

In addition, the monster's resistance will decrease with time if it is not hit by any repeated magic attacks.

Puppetmaster ninja boost since they didnt specify automaton's magic would give resistance.

It's going to be a straight -% damage, kinda like the Great Wyrms who have -50%.

Has this been an issue lately? I need to get back into the swing of things and get some exp back and start getting some merits when I have some time.

Thinking of going back up to Mount Zhayolm and soloing some worms. Not sure if that's available anymore though.

I bet if it wasn't in the patch notes no one would even know it's there.
