The '''Magic armour''' is a recurring suit of armour in the series. As its name suggests, it is designed to guard the wearer against magical onslaughts.


The '''magic armour''' is a recurring suit of armor in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|''Dragon Quest'']] series. As its name suggests, it is designed to guard the wearer against magical onslaughts.
==Characteristics==
The magic armour consists of a blue breastplate with curved pauldrons and ornate gold filigree and edges, along with a dark orange fauld with gold edges that fully encircles the wearer's waist attached to a grey belt with a gold buckle. In some early pieces of artwork, the magic armour is worn with a long cape, a bronze coronet with a blue gemstone around the wearer's forehead, and blue vambraces with the same design as the breastplate, and has a jewel on the belt. It is not as heavy as some other suits of armour, allowing it to be used by a wider range of characters, including some spellcasters.


==Characteristics==
Starting with ''IX'', the breastplate's colour was changed to a dark shade of purple. In ''X'', the armour is now divided into torso and leg pieces, with the fauld also coloured purple, as well. In some games such as ''X Offline'' and ''Walk'', the torso armour is worn with a pair of gauntlets.
