If his result is 25 or higher, the spell takes effect. Otherwise, it does nothing to the mind flayer.The wizard has to make this check every time he casts an applicable spell at the mind flayer. Note that the feat Spell Penetration would let him add +2 to his roll (so he'd be rolling d20+9) to get through Spell Resistance.</blockquote>
