I'm surprised by fellow doing spells in resistance (6)
I believe the answer is:
ohmage
'resistance' is the definition.
(ohmage is a kind of resistance)
'i'm surprised by fellow doing spells' is the wordplay.
'i'm surprised' becomes 'oh' (expression of surprise).
'by fellow doing spells' becomes 'mage' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'oh'+'mage'='OHMAGE'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for ohmage that I've seen is " measure of resistance".)
