* Also granted to {{Class|Warlock}}s who choose the [[Eldritch Invocation]] {{SAI|Armour of Shadows}} at level 2+. This version of the spell can only target self, and doesn't expend [[Spells#Spell Slots|Spell Slots]].
* You can cast this spell on all party members then dismiss the caster from the party and this buff will persist.
** If cast by a {{Class|Wizard}}, this spell must remain [[Spells#Prepared Spells|Prepared]] by the party member who cast it; removing Mage Armour from the caster's Prepared Spells list will immediately remove the buff from all party members whom the caster applied it to. If applied by ''using'' (not scribing) a [[Scroll_of_Mage_Armour|scroll]], the caster does not need to keep this spell Prepared to maintain the buff.
* If a party member who has Mage Armour equips a piece of Armour, the buff will be removed. Mage Armour will not be reapplied when unequipping that Armour; it will need to be cast on them once more.
