	The hindrance of [[Arcane]] circle spells is a little more subtle. Some Arcane spells have a 'native' circle, and use that circle's armor hindrance. For example, [[Minor Cold (1709)]] is native to the [[Wizard Base]], while [[Spirit Guard (1712)]] is native to the [[Minor Spiritual]] circle. Arcane spells that do not have a 'native' circle (such as [[Arcane Blast (1700)]]) have the same hindrance as [[Sorcerer Base]].		The hindrance of [[Arcane]] circle spells is a little more subtle.

			Paladins may learn the armor specialization [[Armored Casting]], which they can apply on themselves or other adventurers. While Armored Casting is active, spells will always be cast even if they fail the spell hindrance roll, but upon the failed hindrance roll the caster will suffer hard roundtime. The duration depends on the type of armor and the Paladin's training in the specialization. Armored Casting also applies to "fumbled" casts, which normally have a 1% chance of occurring even if there is no hindrance, so it has some benefit even if the caster is not hindered by armor.

Paladin spells have 13% base hindrance in full plate armor at 250 armor use skill bonus (150 ranks). If the caster has only trained to 170 skill bonus (70 ranks), total hindrance will be 13% * (1 + (250 - 170) / 20) = 65%.

This puts the base hindrance at 8%, so only 150 skill bonus (50 ranks) is required and the same caster is considered fully trained and will only experience 8% hindrance. In addition, since Faith's Clarity also reduces the caster's [[Minor Spiritual]] spell hindrance to match their Paladin spell hindrance, they would also experience 8% hindrance with Minor Spirit spells. Armored Fluidity no longer stacks with Faith's Clarity, so would not give any additional hindrance reduction.

	Example 2: Minor Spiritual spells have 16% base hindrance in metal breastplate armor at 310 armor use skill bonus (210 ranks). If the caster has only trained to 170 skill bonus (70 ranks), total hindrance will be 16% * (1 + (310 - 170) / 20) = 128%, which is higher than the max hindrance of metal breastplate (90%), so the actual hindrance will be 90%. While under the effect of Faith's Clarity (assuming the 5% version of the spell with no lore bonus), base hindrance is considered to be only 11%, so only 210 skill bonus (110 ranks) is required and the same paladin will only experience 11% * (1 + (210 - 170) / 20) = 33% hindrance. Armored Fluidity reduces total hindrance by 1.6% per rank (rounded down) in all cases, so a caster with 2 ranks of fluidity will have a 3% bonus, giving 87% total hindrance normally and 30% hindrance with Faith's Clarity active.
