Damage Reduction
I understand that 10/+1 means that the first 10 points of damage dealt by a weapon are ignored unless that weapon has a +1 or better enhancement bonus.
10/silver means that the first 10 points of damage dealt by a non-silver weapon are ignored even if that weapon has a +5 enhancement bonus on it.
In the SRD, for Damage Reduction it states "The creature takes normal damage from energy attacks (even nonmagical ones), spells, spell-like abilities, and supernatural abilities."
Considering that, if spells bypass magic resistance, what does 10/magic mean? Does it mean that any weaons magically enchanted will bypass the spell resistance? I don't know of any weapons that are simply 'magical' without having an enhancement bonus, in which case, why doesn't it simply say 10/+1?
