The imp's fire is a spell; the soulstone floor holds (rules rev 8)

Browse Source 
Eric flagged both mid-game, and the second one killed me while he
typed: the scorch carried no damage kind, slipping past SOULSTONE
entirely, and the stone's own clamp guarded only from above — a bearer
already at 3 or less had no protection at all, the exact opposite of
"last three points cannot be taken by spell attack." At rev 8 the
floor holds from below (spell damage at or under the floor is simply
immune), and per the FAQ the scorch is a SPELL: it opens a
counteraction window, burns as magical fire, and FULL SHIELD parts it.
One victim's window at a time; the sweep finds the rest next pass.
Older games — including tonight's, where the flaw was fatal — replay
their recorded flames unchanged; all 34 ledgers verify.
