    Wizard: I shall also wear armour.

    Fantasy lore: no, you can’t wear that.

    Wizard: why? I’m going to be fighting too. I don’t want to get stabbed by the first guy I see and die.

    Fantasy lore: no, it wouldn’t be fair on the giant dragon or the deamons I’m sending you to fight. Enjoy your robe.

      That’s why my oblivion play through is a wizard with a shield and heavy armor.

        honestly it’s a damn shame battle mages aren’t standard, it’s such a cool concept
        Imagine shields specifically designed for use with magic, with a slot cut out on the side for your hand to be exposed so you can cast spells

    A fun thing people often forget about Mage Armor is that you can cast it on other people, which is occasionally even helpful!
