The Monk's Deflect ability lets them defray some of the damage done to them when attacked, and based on the wording of the ability I'm not sure if it's RAI that an attack that includes both physical damage (say, slashing) and magic damage (say, cold or psychic or whatever) is fully defrayed, or if it's just the physical damage part.

Anyone have clarity on this?
