While in a rage state they are unable to be controlled, not immune.
Remember the time when Bahzell was saved from a spell by Wencit deflecting it with a spell. Which was different from he was saving the boy from the weaker wizard and that wizard tried to control him. All Bahzell felt was a tug at his mind.
used to be quite sure about several things and this topic makes me much less sure.
Thank you all,

If you go back and look at the point in Oath of Swords at which Bahzell and Brandark are explaining to Tothas, what Bahzell actually says is "no wizard ever born can control a hradani who's given himself to the Rage." The most significant two words of that sentence are "given himself." In other words, Brandark and Bahzell are not referring to a hradani who's been "taken" by the Rage.

Male are virtually immune to sorcery when they summon the Rage. Female hradani are not, because it's impossible for them to summon the Rage in the first place. This, as I'm sure you can see, could have some interesting (not to say ominous) implications for future events.
So first we must acknowledge that there are two different forms of rage. The original uncontrollable bloodlust that seems to have no effect on sorcery and the newer summoned version that does seem to make the hradani virtually immune to sorcery.
What that virtual immunity means though I am not sure. What I think that means is that they cannot be directly controlled or affected by sorcery. However they can still be harmed by the effects of sorcery. If a wizard collapses a roof on a hradani he will still be crushed. If a wizard creates a ball of fire and sends it at a hradani he will probably still be burned since although the fire's origin is sorcery that doesn't really change the fact that fire burns after it is in existance. The presence of a hradani in rage can disrupt the casting of spells by weak and/or inexperienced wizards, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they are immune to all effects of all spells.
