How do resistances and magic armor work? Do the percentages subtract from the damage taken or is it a chance that the spell will miss/be ineffective?

Let's say you have 50% in Fire Resistance, an enemy casts a fire spell against you that has a base damage of 25 fire damage. Do you then take 12,5 points damage to your magic armour/hit points or what? I guess the other alternative is that the spell has a 50% chance to miss you entirely.
