Does heavy armour inhibit or penalize spellcasting in any way?

thanks

I'm not positive, but don't think so. I think the biggest things is that heavy armour lowers your movement rating, and magical/rare heavy armour is more likely to have bonuses to physical stats and skills and not magical ones.

Usually heavy armours get more elemental resistances, so it helps versus spellcasters. Anyway, I don't think that an high armour value protects from magic. (But it could be interesting versus crushing damage? )
I'm not sure, and I'm not a "pro" in DOS mechanisms...

No. Tested. I often play warrir/mage hybrids.
