The '''magic armour''' is a recurring suit of armour in the {{DQSeries}}. 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.
 
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.
