did a few tests, 20 casts each:
208 fire, sunstrike, -10 modifier, 1082 max hit

at this resist level(198 after modifier), i should be seeing pretty much only full resists and very low damage partials, with extremely rare high damage partial or full hit
150 magic, rend, 0 modifier, 525 max hit

at this resist level(150), i should be seeing mostly full resists and low damage partials, with a few midrange hits and very uncommon high damage partials, rare full hits

at this resist level(126 after modifier) i should start to reliably see full resists, low damage partials, and some midrange/high damage partials, uncommon full hits
---------------------------------
in every case, the spells are simply hitting too hard too often, especially the frequency of max hits
tried testing resist levels and the nukes above at sub-100 resist values, but it seems to be almost exclusively max hits with uncommon partials/full resists
