1. Armor, by its nature, closes the character off from the world around him and therefore affects using Arcana.
  Specifically, it makes fatiguing arcana harder to use without exhaustion.
Whenever a character uses an arcana that is fatiguing while wearing any kind of armor, apply a modifier to the TN for the Willpower (Self-Control) check. If the character is wearing armor in which he is not trained, the penalty is doubled.
Using arcana that does not cause fatigue is not affected by armor.
