If I have a spell that gives me flight though, how would magic resistance impede me? I don't have to make any rolls to fly, I just spend the FP to cast the spell and away I go.
One thing that my groups discussion has lead to is the concept of a counter-counter spell. Afflicting yourself with a small amount of MR (Allows own spellcasting +150%) should make it very difficult for an enemy mage to deny you your own casting powers (MR 3 would be a 6 point difference in the quick contest, for example). Fights might all start with mages casting their defensive spells first (before another mage has the ability to deny it to them), then they switch to buff/offensive spells.
I have one more question about how talents would apply in the above case though. When afflicting MR upon someone they can choose to resist, and assuming it's a malediction the roll is Will+talent vs HT. If a mage gives themselves a defensive magic resistance buff (of MR 3 in this case) is the roll now (Will + Enemy Talent - 3 vs HT + 3) OR (Will + Enemy Talent - 3 vs HT + Your Talent +3)
