8th Ed. Higher State Of Consciousness

The rule that says that "Only magical attacks have any affect upon the Slann", does that prevent Miscast damage? Nowhere I could find in the BRB says "All damage done by miscasts is magical" or something similar. Obviously the one where the Slann is removed from play still work because that's not damage, but the template damage or the auto S10 hit?

From page 7 of the FAQ:

Q: What are ‘magical attacks’? (p68)
A: All attacks made by spells and magic items are considered
to be magical attacks, as are all attacks that are specifically
noted as being magical attacks. Shots fired from magical items
are also considered to be magical attacks, unless their
description specifically states otherwise. Hits inflicted by rolls
on the Miscast table are treated as magical attacks.

So yes, miscast damage definitely does count as magical and will hurt you even with ethereal.
