Hand-waving seems very agreeable in this particular case. You have already stated the appropriate price, so unless Scotley has something to add, I am fine with you just making the appropriate adjustments to your character sheet. Scotley your thoughts? Maybe I've overlooked some important fact?
Yes. Thanks. I kinda "shotgunned" the question a bit, but Kinem actually responded first, so that turned out to be unnecessary. Plus, the more I thought about it, the less I needed to even ask the question!

[sblock=Rhun]Actually, the question first came up this morning because I was trying to find an excuse to use more of Bevin's spells, like Mage Armor, but it turns out that because he wears +3 leather armor and has a ring of protection as well, he would gain no benefit from the spell unless he took his armor off, which just won't happen while he's conscious! Really, what I was hoping for was that kinem would houserule it and give Bev a bonus for the spell on top of his armor. Got shot down on that one!
[sblock=Rhun]Yeah, you're right about that, I guess. Next time we fight a wraith I'll be sure and cast mage armor.[/sblock][sblock=For Leif]
You will note from my answer that is still provides a slight benefit, as the +4 would apply vrs incorporeal attacks, where the +3 leather wouldn't. Of course, with that said, it isn't much of a spell. But hell, it is a first level spell...what can you expect.

[sblock=Kerlan and Rhun]Thanks, Kerlan! I hope I remember that when I get to choose another spell![/sblock]
