How does block work?

Hi. I just had a few questions regarding blocking.
how does block penetration work vs block?, I heard you can not block magical attacks but does block work on physical ranged attacks or does that work like magic? . what stats boost block at what rate?. How effective is manual blocking over auto blocking? and what is the block like with finestra?

block is boosted by CON.
Shield Guard(manual block) was absurdly effective, be for physical, ranged or magic.
If im not mistaken, magical attacks can be blocked, but as magic attacks are based on INT(boosts block penetration) the block chance is lower.

Wrong. Not Block, nor Evasion can save from magic Attacks. What Block does is only blocking physical damage.

Shield Guard was effective, but only versus physical attacks.
