According to the rules (DMG pg 292) all spells ignore Damage Reduction. Some spells are listed as doing certain types of damage (Evard's Black Tentacles does bludgeoning, Stone spikes piercing) but this doesn't make any difference as they ignore the DR that makes certain monsters harder to hurt with that type of damage. Is there any other reason to list the type of damage?
Is is reasonable to say that any spell that does a type of damage, or any spell that ignores SR and does not do energy damage does not ignore DR?
Otherwise Golems are turned into rubble with EBT, or slowed somehow by Stone Spikes.
