partially neutral physical? This is the way I think of it:
Every attack is either magical or physical.
Every attack can also be aligned to a certain element, or a combination of elements. The elements are fire, ice, lightning, poison, holy, and neutral.
When an attack is composed of two elements, damage is calculated in two steps. The result is a weighted average of the damage from each element.
Elemental effectiveness is calculated as a 150% multiplier, elemental resistance is calculated as a 50% multiplier. Monsters never resist holy, and are never resistant or weak to neutral.
Ex: Inferno is a physical attack. It is composed of the neutral and fire elements. At lower levels, it leans toward the neutral element, and when maxed, the two elements are equal.
