I'm not sure how damage reduction interacts with spirits. Here's my guess:

''Spirit has same initial armor/MR/reduction stats as host initially, but can be affected by auras independently. Spirit takes typed raw damage, but reductions are applied to that amount. After damage reduction, the given percentage of this reduced amount is forwarded to the host as true damage.''

This could easily be very wrong in very important ways. For example, if reduction is applied twice, that would be huge. Even if reduction is applied only once but afterward instead of before, the effect would be that the total health of the spirit would burn out while a much smaller total amount of raw damage would be passed on. The extreme scenario would be that no resistances are applied at any stage, which would be insane and probably isn't the case.
