Go fight a PLD monster and have it Invincible then Req on it, 0 damage.
1: MDT won't affect Spirits Within or Atonement. MDT/MDB has no effect on them.

These WS, along with Chi Blast, are spirit dmg. Which is just a name I suppose. You could call it non-elemental Magic dmg, But it doesn't act like normal magic dmg. They're lacking the normal modifiers. Just about the only things that affect their dmg would be, Rampart, magic shield, and mob DMG type weakness/resist(Cerberus types take x2 dmg. Every NM since VNMs take half... -.-).

2:Requiescat goes right through invincible. It's also very likely that it'll ignore PDT and sentinel as well, but I haven't tested those as of yet. Also interested to see if it bypasses Physical shield. Needs tests.
