Mage armor works with a shield. Shields are grouped with armor in the equipment rules in the Player’s Handbook, but various game features distinguish between the armor you wear and a shield you wield.
Does mage armor count as light armor?
So I’m looking here at the Mage Armor perk, and it supposedly doubles Stoneflesh’s effectiveness if ‘not wearing armor. ‘ I just picked up a mask called ‘Morokei’ that increases Magika regen 100%. Only problem, it’s classified as light armor.
Does natural armor and mage armor stack?
You can only use one AC calculation at a time (e.g. armor, Unarmored Defense, Mage Armor, Draconic Resilience, Natural Armor.) You can stack unlimited bonuses on top of that as long as they’re not from two of the same spell, magic item, or any other game feature with the same name.

Can you stack mage and natural armor in RuneScape?

Can you cast Mage armor on a barbarian?
In the monk’s version, you must both forgo wearing armor and forgo wielding a shield if you want to benefit from the feature, whereas a barbarian must only forgo wearing armor. You can also cast Mage Armor on someone with natural armor since natural armor isn’t something you wear; it’s part of your body. Ah! Thank you! ^^ This really helps!
Is there a difference between magic and unarmored armor?
This means you can benefit from traits for which you need to be “unarmored” like a Monks unarmored movement or the Magic Item Bracers of Defense. You would lose all benefits while in an Anti-Magic-Field while magic Studded Leather armor would still count as a mundane version of it. (Thanks, Yuuki) Your defenses could be dispelled with Dispel Magic.
