'''Cast versus Armor''', or '''CvA''' is a term that applies to [[warding]]-based [[:Category:Offensive Spells|attack spells]]. Heavier [[armor]] types are harder to penetrate, even with magic, as reflected by this value. Magical armor protect the wearer better than non-magical armor. These numbers apply directly to the warding roll.
