Mild tingle = shock resistance?

Hi,

I get a 'You feel a mild resistance' message when I hit an
energy vorex with Sting. Does it mean I have aquirec shock
resistance?
After a quick search here I think so, but I would like to
be really sure of it before trying to poly my ring of
shock resistance (which I'm not wearing into something
more useful.

Cheers,
chlorine

Yep. Probably something you ate (blue dragon meat, some kinds of puddings
and blobs).
