 For example, if you have 11 strength and [[fire dragon scales]], 1 Armour skill = <code>1/71 * 11^2 / 14</code> = 0.122 levels in each spell school. This is a ratio of 8.21 Armour skill : 1 in each spell school. If you have a dual-school spell, like [[Iron Shot]], 4.1 Armour skill = 1 Earth Magic OR 1 Conjurations, while 8.21 Armour = 1 Earth AND Conjurations.

 *Intelligence reduces SpellFailure by 2 per point.
 For example, you have 11 strength, fire dragon scales, and 0 Armour skill. On level up, you have a choice of 2 str or 2 int. The impact of +2 str is equal to <code>(1/14 - 1/16) * 19/225 * 11^2 * 90</code> = 8.21 SpellFailure, greater than 2*2 = 4 SpellFailure from intelligence.
