Magic Protection

We already have protection enchantments for almost everything (attacks, fire, explosions, projectiles, fall damage), but not for magic damage. Currently there are just a few mobs which deal this kind of damage (Guardians, Elder Guardians, the Ender Dragon), but if Mojang implemented the enchantments, they could design new mobs, maybe also a mini-boss, which would require you to prepare properly.
This would be useful because it would allow Mojang to add more difficulty to the game, but also a way to deal with it.
It could make the Ender Dragon fight easier, and this is not good, thus I have some ideas to balance it:
-It wouldn't be available in the enchanting table
-It would be available only in Ender Cities loots or by fishing.
Considering that you'd have to enchant a full armor set, I think this is enough.
Someone may say that there would be too many protection enchantments, well, what about then making fire protection and blast protection into a single enchantment? Blast protection is used just in Wither Boss fights, this would also make the new enchantments resulting by the two more interesting.

  I would be happy with magic protection as an enchantment without a mini-boss. I also support the idea of an exclusive enchanted book added to end city loot.

  It should also reduce the effects of harmful potions. Make potion of damaging hurt less, reduce the time negative potion effects affect you.

  Don't forget protecting against negative potions being thrown. Perhaps it could even protect against effects that other mobs apply to you reducing the risk of you actually being effected. Essentially it would make it so that when another mob tries to apply an effect to you or a harmful splash potion is thrown at you, it will make it so you have a chance of said potion effect actually coming into effect in the first place with each level increasing your chance of not being effected. For example let's say you have level 1 magic protection and you are attacked by a wither skeleton you would then have 20% chance of the wither effect not effecting you.

  I agree with this, but to also reduce potion damage. There's currently no way to avoid being one shot by a harming arrow
