Crushing Blow is physical damage. Berserk converts the physical damage you do into magical damage.
So, for example say that you score a hit that does 250 damage, and trigger a crushing blow that does a percent resulting in another 100 damage. Does berserk convert this into 350 magic damage? Or is it 100 phys / 250 magic.

Thus, it would be 250 magical damage, which is normally affected by damage reduction effects. Then Crushing Blow reduces life by 100, which is affected only by non-negative physical resistance.
