Tl;dr : Magic dmg is not ele dmg
Magic is one of the six damage types in Diablo II, the others being Cold, Fire, Lightning, Poison, and Physical.
Players have only one option for boosting their magic resistance, with the crafted Safety Shield being the only item in the game that contributes. Complimenting that fact, there very few monsters in the game with immunity to Magic damage, including the Greater Mummies of Act 2 and the Wailing Beast of Act 3. This makes many builds utilizing Magic damage very powerful in both PvM and PvP.
The following skills provide magic damage:
Amazon: Magic Arrow
Assassin: Psychic Hammer
Barbarian: Berserk
Necromancer: Teeth, Bone Spear, Bone Spirit
Paladin: Holy Bolt (Including those released from Fist of the Heavens), Blessed Hammer, Sanctuary
on the other hand all elemental damage is considered magic damage.
this is a fact
magic damage reduce reduce magic damage, fire damage, cold damage etc.
physicical damage reduce physical damage.
