Yes, actually you have.
Whenever the word "resist" appears in white lettering, your spell just missed. It's different from the chance to resist because spells (that aren't frostbolt and cone of cold) have a chance to be partially resisted, to lose part of their damage, and that doesn't seem to be dependent on the to-hit check the way total resists are.
They hid it in one of the early patches, but your spells have a "weapon skill" (your level*5) which is checked against a mob's level, just like any weapon. It doesn't seem to be particularly related to the chance to resist based on a mob's resistances. Chance to hit with spells affects one but not the other.
