Has a general consensus for how robes protect mages ever been established? I've seen conflicting views. I've always intepreted it in the most apparent way. A forcefield that works the opposite of, for example, a bubble shield from Halo. Slow moving objects like swords are repelled away while fast moving objects like bolts pierce this forcefield. If we're too imagine this forcefield like invisible particles, these particles hold strong against large weaponry, but the sharpness and velocity of projectiles squeeze between this forcefield and bypass it.
