I apologize if this has been explained in an older thread but I'm having trouble locating any information on the subject.
I'm having a lot of difficulty understanding what the differences between ranged and magic are. I know you need a magic weapon equipped to cast magic and likewise for ranged and ranged weapons. From reading the rules, it seems that magic and ranged function identically except for equipping the appropriate weapon.
I'm assuming magic still has to penetrate armor since there isn't anything specifically saying one way or the other.
Hopefully the knowledgeable crew here can clarify things for me!
