My Orc was still Level 1 [just arrived at Riverwood with Ralof] and the Magic Resistance was visible in the Active Effects Tab. So it appears to work for an existing 1st level character.
BTW, thanks for the mod release; the reason I played Orcs in Oblivion was their combination of martial prowess and their racial resistance to magic -seeing the removal of their racial ability in Skyrim was a major dissapointment to me. So, personally -and I emphasize 'personally'- I see this mod as a much needed fix.
It seems you have to start a new game to get this to work. I already have a level 18 orc when I added this mod and I didn't see the 25% magic resistance on the effects list in game.
