How do I tell if a spell or effect damage is reduced by physical or mystical armor?

generally they tell you in the description. is there a specific spell or effect you're unsure of?

In ED4 at least, the effect test info in the spell's stat block should provide that information.

For example:

Earth Darts
Effect: Will+3/Physical

Damage is reduced by Physical Armor.

Ephemeral Bolt
Effect: Will+4/Mystic

Damage is reduced by Mystic Armor.
