Although DarkFall allows casters to wear heavy armor, characters that do are penalized in the following ways.
Disadvantages are in the following ways:
1. Greater chances of miscasting (you waste your time and mana on a spell that misfires)
2. Your magic will have less output when healing or damaging others. Like many other MMOs, DarkFall has a system of magic which is broken into distinct schools, or spell types.
Similar to Everquest, repeatedly casting spells of a school of magic will benefit your proficiency within that school of magic. Unlike other MMOs, DarkFall has different advantages for magical proficiency.
Advantages: 1. Faster casting times 2. Enhanced damage 3. Ability to hit additional targets
