As a Mage my mage spells get interrupted even when I am immune to the damage?

I don't remember this happening in BG2 is this a glitch

example: Ice wights are attacking me I cast protection from magic weapons and stone skin and also cast protection from the elements two times making me immune to ice.

it says im immune to the damage yet.... it still interrupts my spells?

is this a glitch ?

Cold wights hit with the equivalent of normal weapons. Try casting Protection from Normal Weapons (PFNW) instead.

And yes getting hit with cold damage (even when you have immunity to cold) will interrupt your spells. It was the same in BG2 (TobEx however does address it).

However, if you are outright immune to their weapon enchantment level (which you aren't at the moment since you cast PFMW instead of PFNW) that will stop their attacks from interrupting your spells.

@‌eliminster thanks. well I thought being immune to damage should stop it outright. But stone skin was their as well to prevent normal weapons and PFMW for all magic weapons I thought I had a nice defenses vs all type thing.

So I guess its a glitch that it interrupts them.

Is their another official patch? that I can download.

Its an engine issue. The developers are aware of it though nothing has been released by them to address it.
