     Dragonbreath has AT_MAGIC added to it by the spell code, or it USED to.
DRAGONBREATH WILL NOT HARM MAGICIMMUNE MONSTERS!  Accept no different
answer unless that person swears he just read the spell code and
found that |MAGIC isn't added to the attacktype of almost every spell,
and in particular, THIS one.
