What are Katarina's abilities' damage type?

Question

Do Katarina's abilities do physical or magical damage?

Physical damage is reduced by armor, while magical damage is reduced by magic resistance.

Gah. Please rephrase the question a bit. I don't quite understand — Ritwik Bose, Commented Aug 9, 2010 at 4:42
He wants to know if Katarina's abilities do physical or magical damage. Physical damage is reduced by armor, while magical damage is reduced by magic resistance. — Matthew, Commented Aug 9, 2010 at 4:47
@Mechko he's using jargon. Most LoL players should be able to parse it. — tzenes, Commented Aug 9, 2010 at 4:49
@tzenes lol ok. I looked at it and thought "English parser detects crash imminent" — Ritwik Bose, Commented Aug 9, 2010 at 4:51

Thanks! It is as I imagined.. so it justifies the importance of sorcerer`s shoes for the magic penetration.

where do you find these information? I think RIOT should somehow provide these info. I often find myself stuck while choosing armor late game

@nimcap google? I found it across a couple sources as no one source gave me all the information.

I tried googling lots of times, I never found a source that contains all of the skills and their types. I wish RIOT added that information in game.

@nimcap when you pick a character the tooltip says what kind of damage the skills do. i mean ingame, not while chosing
