Well it's a simple question: how does wearing a heavy armor fatigue's a mage? Do mage's use muscles to cast spells?

heavy armor is heavy, so it becomes more difficult to make strange movements so it requires more mental power. buyahh

This.

Also, heavy armour = more tiring. Tired mage = can't cast spells.

And if you're wearing heavy armour, then you're probably an Arcane Warrior no? Which means you'll need to swing that Spellweaver?

I always thought that casting spells require mental strength and that it does not conect to physical condition. Sorta like I can run 10 miles and get tired but i can still sit and do math's until my brain is tired. And mages sorta have that mana like third power beside mind and physical strength.

Like for example:



( this image has nothing to do with DA but...)
1) this is a spellcaster.
2) wearing heavy armor.
3) clearly is not going melee.
4) Clearly doen't have problem with casting spells. ( glowing an all )

difference is: when youre exausted youre legs consume all youre oxygene so it doesn't come to youre brain. as a result youre feeling tired.

Who knows what Bioware's explanation is. But it's only fair that I give them the benefit of the doubt until they contradict themselves.



Since thoughts require some physiological correlate, maybe the fatigue really does hamper spellcasting. It's kind of hard to take seriously.



Then again, maybe it's like all those Jedi straining to use the Force. Errr, aaggggh, uggggghh. Yeah, Yoda doesn't have to. He can hold his little clawed hand out and move starships. But Yoda, the Warden is not.

Also consider that spells require concentration. When you're physically exhausted it's harder to concentrate.

I think it's just a gameplay convention and you shouldn't think too hard about it.



But even if you do, there are any number of possible explanations.

I don't think prestidigitation matters in DA like it does in games like D&D, otherwise they would have made it more like spell failure I think.

And mages would have verbal components to spells, which would explain fatigue as having to grunt in effort!

I still like my idea of armor being a physical barrier though...

This is the right answer.

Because mage's don't exercise often.

They use spirit muscles.

That is the best sentence I've heard today.

Wearing heavy armor, running in it, casting in it, shooting off your staffs auto attack in it, and the heat you must endure! Seems reason enough.

ummm you use energy to do anything including to cast spells , since wearing armor consumes more energy to move your ass aroud it means you have less energy to cast spells . Simple no ?
