Hi! I am really enjoying the game, but I had a quick question:
Does magical damage of any and all types ignore armor?
It seems as though piercing damage ignores armor, but I wasn’t sure about the magical damage types.
Thanks for any help!!
Yup.

Armor only affects physical damage. All magical damage and piercing/bleed ignore armor. I am unsure about internal trauma but I believe it is also unaffected by armor.
The best way to mitigate magical damage is through resistances. If you find that you are dying too much to magic, keep an eye out for yellows (or better, but yellows are common) that have the right resistances for the area you are in. Damage types are generally color coded and you’ll get a feel for which is which as you play.
