Arcane Spells and Armor

Armor interferes with the gestures that are needed to make to cast an arcane spell.

Casting an Arcane Spell in Armor: When casting an arcane spell while wearing armor, a character must make an arcane spell failure roll. The number in the Arcane Spell Failure is the chance that the spell fails and is ruined. If the spell lacks a somatic (S) component it can be cast without making the arcane spell failure roll.
