Heh. Serves you right!
That's part of the reason I try not to rely on spells, there's always the possibility that they have an immunity or it simply has little effect (check the damage being done and see what they're resisting, that might help identify what's happening).

Ah, you passed the giant cliche? Hmm, I had to fight it, it was quite easy though, you can stand near the entrance of the area avoiding all damage (IIRC) firing a bow at it.
That's the point from where Ranged Weapons start becoming really useful.

How are you doing for ammunition? Personally I stick with the Unlimited Arrows and Bolts 95% of the time, it may be slower than the better missiles, but I always like preserving stuff.

I think I vaguely remember that, the key is to see whether the use cursor (spinning icon) is still there and whether the chest is flashing or not. It did catch me out once though.
