Magic Resistance (対é”力, Tai-Maryoku?, localized as "Anti-Magic"EX) grants protection against magical effects. Differing from the Resistance effect that merely rejects Magical Energy, this ability cancels the spells altogether.
Magic Resistance is the Class Skill of the Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Ruler, Shielder, MoonCancer, and Watcher classes.

| Jeanne d'Arc, Jeanne d'Arc Alter (Ruler), Martha (Swimsuit) | |
| Due to their unwavering piety, the Saint-type Rulers boast great Magic Resistance. Instead of negating magecraft, it simply diverts the magic elsewhere, making them impossible to hit even by magecraft from the Age of Gods. Magic attacks that cover a wide area can still hit them, however, and sacraments from the Church negates the resistance all together.[1][2] | |
| Johanna | |
| By virtue of being a pope, Johanna boasts exceptionally high magic resistance.[3] | |

| Quetzalcoatl (Santa/Samba) | |
| Unlike the resistence possessed by the Saint-type Rulers, Quetzalcoatl resistance is more based around enduring damage. Even if its damage that could be avoided, she will still take it head on. | |
| Archetype: Earth (Servant) | |
| As Magecraft and Sacraments are human copies and recreations of things that happen on Earth they do almost nothing to Archetype: Earth, from whom the phenomena originate. However, things that do not originate from Earth might have the ability to hurt her, for example curses crafted only from elements of human society. As such only Modern Magecraft and Internet Magecraft may have the capability of hurting her.[6][7] | |

| Bradamante | |

| Elizabeth Báthory, Elizabeth Báthory (Brave) | |
