An invisible but tangible field of force surrounds the subject of a mage armorspell, providing a +4 armor bonus to AC.
Unlike mundane armor, mage armorentails no armor check penalty, arcane spell failure chance, or speed reduction. Since mage armoris made of force, incorporeal creatures can’t bypass it the way they do normal armor.
