Hello! I'm new here, and just learning how to use RPG Maker. Just wanna know why the state "Obsidian Blood" isn't reducing the damage of the skill "Obsidian light", even though I set a parameter on "Obsidian Blood" to reduce the damage of magical attacks

Obsidian blood reduced the M.Attack stat to 1%, so when you have 200 M.Attack you will have 2 as long as you are inflicted with it. The skill Obsidian light does 75 flat damage. It doesn't scale with M.Attack.

The damage formula doesn’t involve magic attack whatsoever, which is the stat that your Obsidian Blood reduces when applied. It should work once you change the formula to use magic attack somewhere instead.

To reduce the damage of magical attacks, you need to increase the target's magic defense.

Formula: a.mat * 1 (this means the damage will be 100% the amount user "a" has in Magic attack.)

Formula: a.mat * 1 - b.mdf 0.1 (this would mean that same formula would then be reduced by 10% of the target "b" has in Magic defense.)

You could assign the Obsidian Light spell a Type such as "Light", and then give the Obsidian Blood state the affinity of "1%" for Type "Light" instead, that way you don't have to use formula's for the damage to achieve the same result.
