Gnomes become 100 % Spell / Rod /Wand /Staff resistant by mid to late game ? ( Or close enough )

Running a Gnome F / I and only level 3.
Now I'm noticing he is almost immune to casted magic or at least take half damage. ( If any )

Walked through a Web / Entangled battle field....saved every time.
Fear or charm...bahhh.
Only AoE spells seem to have any effect .( Sometimes )

I know there are other magic effects Breath / Petrification etc.

But more then half of the magic damage and mayhem in this game is casted magic.

My Spell is at 3
My Wand / Rod / Staff is 4
Con bonus and 2 magical items.

And with level up reductions, added Con and assorted better magical bling these 2 stats should hit 0...or even negative.
