Meteoric Metal vs Magic

I can see your point - but Meteoric items do have some boons, even if they're less impressive than they first seem when applied to armour and shields.

I'd still rule that you can use meteoric shields to block magical attacks (although note that things such as fireball tend not to be magical once thrown), and that meteoric armour grants full protection against magical attacks unless its aimed at a hit location not covered by it.

Just because your meteoric helm doesn't stop you getting mind-controlled, doesn't prevent it from being useful against that Magical Bolt to the skull - which may I add very much hurt. Armour is meant to stop you getting injured from attacks, and that's very much what the helm does here, why should it do anything else?
