Runescape logic?Bullshit, in Oblivion wearing armor reduced the effectiveness of your spells, and I'm pretty sure in Morrowind it reduced your chances of successfully casting a spell, though it's been a while since I played Morrowind.In Skyrim, robes offer faster magicka regen and lower casting costs for a particular school, which you can eventually mimic with a high enough enchanting skill, but's not easy.
