There was a explanation on another EQEMU, I am not going to mention it, but they explained that original code (hidden from users) showed that these rain spells have a positive resist factor. Meaning instead of a negative resist in wihch an NPC needs to have 50 or 100 positive resist to level out resistance to zero pertaining to the spell, (instead) they need a negative resist to level out to zero.
---------
Hypothetical Example:
Orc has -25 MR
You cast a MR based rain spell on it. Because the resist check on the spell, the Orc now has +25 MR because the opposite resist affect the Rain spell has.
--------
Rains were broken in live years ago and they are broken in P99. They obviously have a positive resist on them instead of zero or a negative resist.
