If you made it a 0 weight item of clothing with hideous drawbacks, it would work. Like 100% vulnerability to all dmg, 100% arcane Spellfail, 1 use/day Jump To Transition. Unusable in combat (can't equip), not exploitable for say invis mage exploring because of the horrific drawbacks.

Speaking as the player of a pyromaniac Evoker who uses Combust on bosses a LOT, I second that point. Walk the last few paces to a target, but run the rest. I don't get attacked unless they decide to turn to me for generall attacking. If you're really into close up spells, get Combat Casting so you don't suffer -4 to your Concentration for being near an enemy.

These folks are called "druids" and have rather limited armor option on EfU:A :D.

I like being able to see if someone's buffed with obvious powerful defensive spells. It can even be an intimidation factor if they are suspicious of a potential attack.
