I was doing some Aquamancer testing on the prinny, and after a few turns, all of my spells started hitting resist procs. Considering that the prinny has no innate resists, I knew something was fishy. After doing some testing, I narrowed it down to crest break and idol combo being the cause.

I've determined:

1. Crest Break + idol gives resist proc against all spells. Non-spell sources such as basics do NOT hit resists, since idol aren't applied to those.
2. Crest Break and idol individually do not cause the issue.

Sorry for double post, but got more important info.

The problem actually appears to be that idol and Crest Break are doing the opposite of what's intended, and are GIVING more elemental resistance rather than reducing it (idol 20 + crest break 10 would mke the prinny 30% resistant to all elements). You can see this by simply unequipping idol and comparing the damage, as the idol-less attack will end up doing more.
