Resistance and Weakness sections are empty in provided source text, returning empty strings: "", "". (Self-correction: Ensuring no comments in JSON). Actually, looking at the snippet, no resistance or weakness entries were provided, so I return empty strings as required by the developer instructions.

Wait, the prompt instruction said "Only generate a valid, parseable JSON... Do not generate any extra text outside of the JSON string.". Correcting now.
