I don't know such "cheat"
But why do you think god's retributive strike as magic?
If attacktype of retributive strike doesn't have magic flag,
then the god can hit players who have magic immunity.
I think magic immunity is powerful because there are much magics
which should not have magic flag in its attacktype.
For example, electric from electiric dragon.
