Which sort of means that the Sear Tiles are counting as PHYSICAL damage.

[MegaBlues]

all damage that isn't intrinsically magical is physical. like poison. or raging flame auras.

[Rendar]

Right. So it needs fixing, because Matador gets buffs from it, etc. Also it doesn't trigger against VA Voidveil, etc.

[Neus]

Sear tiles deal physical damage. This is the way it's always been. I guess it could change for Sear tiles only, but cinders are also physical. So who knows.

[Soapy]

Sear should definitely be magical, at the very least.

I'd say Cinders should take the type of whatever caused them, but they're fine the way they are if that's too much work.

[Rendar]

Cinder Tiles are all dependent really. Were they caused by Magical Dragon Firebreath that you conjured from a youkai? Probably magical based. Were they conjured from a Hyattr carpet bombing? Probably Physical.

[Neus]

Sear are now magic damage, cinders are physical. Might change in the future to be specific to the source but I wouldn't bet on it.
