Resist Magic vs Dragon Magic

[Avaran]

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this question, please feel free to move this should it be deemed an inappropriate location.

In the Dragon packet, it states specifically that Resist Magic may be used against dragon magic. This is supported by one of Scott's posts here.

However, in the Dragon Mage packet, it says specifically that Resist Magic may NOT be used as a valid defense against dragon magic.

This is a case of differing deliveries? Where the Dragon Mage is basically limited to, "I call up the power of the dragon to...<name of ritual>", where a dragon can simply use "Magic...<name of ritual>" if they choose? If that is the case, what is the reasoning behind allowing Spell Shield and Reflect to work, but not Resist Magic (RM seems to be a "smart" spell shield now?)?

Thank you for your time.

This post is to inform you that your question is currently being discussed by the ARC and once some clarification has been made will be posted here. Depending on the level of clarification and discussion (and potential involvement of the Owners or other national staff, if needed) this may take time.

The intent is for Resist Magic to be usable against Dragon Magic (from either Dragons or Dragon Mages). Older packets were inconsistent, but the newest versions of both packets should agree that Resist Magic should work on Dragon Magic.
