First and foremost, because I have been getting some mixed opinions on this, is the usage of metal armaments whilst casting magics. Before I developed this character it had come to my attention that the actual 'Battle-Mage' armour in game has metal components. This fact is clearly stated in the official concept design, made by Jagex itself. Second is that during the first world event ( The skirmish between the forces of both Saradomin and Zamorak ) both black and white knight mages indeed donned metal attires, even when casting spells. This truly makes me ponder and lets me think casting magics in metal armour is not that negative for the caster in particular. it IS, however, still a conductive material when it comes to magic assaults and I agree that if you get struck by any spell while wearing metal armaments, you'd be significantly more damaged then when you'd be wearing, let's say, dragonhide. I hope this somehow explains my personal opinion and view on the subject.
