I have a question. If I hit a monster with resistance to physical damage from non-magical weapons, with a non-magical weapon but I use a paladin's smite, is the damage reduced entirely? Do I only reduce the physical part? Do I not reduce anything because the weapon becomes "magical" due to the spell?
Only the damage from the non-magical weapon would be affected by the monster's resistance, so yes, the physical part of the damage would be halved in that example.
