Onyx gargoyles are immune to Ice Patch. --VMPHNTRD (talk) 01:25, 16 June 2025 (CDT)

Mark of Arhat

Cold and fire damage will not trigger Mark of Arhat (MOA)'s effect on onyx gargoyles. The spell will successfully cast and mark an onyx gargoyle, but the spell's damaging effect will not trigger when the gargoyle is struck with cold or fire damage. Electric damage, however, will trigger the spell's effect. When triggered, MOA will affect onyx gargoyles, i.e. it will increase what would have been a 'good' strike to a 'strong' one. --VMPHNTRD (talk) 01:25, 16 June 2025 (CDT)
