'''Spell immunity''' is [[creature specialty]] which makes them unable to be target of the specific spell or a range of spells. The immunity also regards creature specialties which cause the same effect as the specific spell or spells (for example, [[Troglodyte]]s are immune to the [[Blind]] spell as well as [[Unicorn]]s' blinding special ability), even if technically this ability doesn't mean respective spell (for example, [[Green Dragon and Gold Dragon|Gold]] and [[Red Dragon and Black Dragon|Black Dragons]] are immune to the [[Resurrection]] spell as well as [[Angel and Archangel|Archangels]]' resurrecting special ability).

The Orb of VulnerabilityOrb of Vulnerability can bypass some spell immunities. See its page for details.
