Magic Armour

An improvement over its non-magical counterparts, Magic Armour is the one set of armour everyone strives to have.

At some point in the seasoned adventurer's career, even the strongest mundane armour just won't do any longer. When the wearer is constantly beset upon by fearsome enemies whose attacks cannot be blocked or deflected by common protection, magic armour becomes a necessity. The characteristics of this armour are truly fantastic. Much tougher than any other armour, it enables only the strongest foes to harm the wearer. Additionally, due to the enchantments cast upon it, magic armour is even lighter than leather.

History
Magic armour first appeared in Ultima IV, in both chain and plate varieties. They were the same in Ultima V. In Ultima VI, they could be bought in Trinsic, and magic helmets appeared. By Ultima VII, the set was complete.
