* In ''TabletopGame/TheDarkEye'', forged metal interferes with the flow of magical energies (with some rare exceptions) in such a way that it makes casting spells more difficult and prohibits the regeneration of {{Mana}} if a significant amount is worn close to a magic user's body. While magic users ''can'' wear anything not made out of metal (e.g. heavy leather), this is frowned upon by the Magician's Guilds as not befitting a wizard's standing, further restricting proper certified wizards to fancy robes and such.

* ''VideoGame/{{Drakensang}}'': (Which is based on ''The Dark Eye'') Magic users are able to equip anything, however they are completely blocked from casting spells if they wear only one single piece of metal armor (again, with exceptions).

* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' Mages and Warlocks can only wear cloth armor.
* ''VideoGame/{{Rift}}'': Mages can only wear cloth armor.
--> "The art of weaving magic does not favor heavy armors that distract the senses and restrict movement."
* ''VideoGame/GuildWars'': Pure spellcaster classes (Elementalist, Mesmer, Monk, Necromancer) are restricted to lower armor ratings than fighter type classes.
* ''VideoGame/GuildWars2'': Scholar type professions (Elementalist, Mesmer, Necromancer) can only wear light armor.
