Magical armor referred to protective gear that had been enhanced through Spellcraft and other magic. While it offered the same basic defense as ordinary armor, it also provided added effects that improved the wearer’s chances of survival. Some pieces increased overall protection, while others granted resistance to specific damage types, helped avoid magical attacks, or improved movement. These enchantments appeared on all kinds of armor, from light leather to heavy plate, depending on the user’s training and role.
Such armor was valued not only for its defense but also for its practical advantages in dangerous situations. Certain sets repaired themselves, reduced noise during movement, or adjusted to fit the wearer. Others carried unique traits tied to their magical origin, such as blessings or ancient spells. Though the core function remained protection, magical armor often played a larger role by offering specialized support that regular armor could not.
