Check out some WWS parses. Non-biinary spells have around 4% mitigation (give or take given a small statistical sample). Frostbolt always has 0% mitigation. ALWAYS.
Now, obviously, a frostbolt affected by the small level basd resistance would have to be a full resist and show up as a "miss", but I, and others, haven't noticed Frost mages experiencing a higher then expected miss rate.
It would take a lot of logs and a lot of statistic combining to get definitive, but it appears as tho binary spells are exempt from the level based resists.
