Is channeler armor actually imbued with magic?
From the in-game description:
The heaviest of protective gear for sorcerers, and imbued with magic.
What does actually imbued with magic mean in this context? I haven't noticed any special difference in this type of items.
Best Answer
"Imbuing" an item with magic does not always mean that it will have an active effect.
In video games, and especially in Dark Souls, weapons "imbued" with magic are often given an active effect, whereas armour is given a passive effect. In the case of the Chanellers Set, this is its defense rating Vs magic damage.
It is important to point out, however, that Magic resistance is still different to Faith (more specifically Lightning) resistance. While the Chanellers Set might have a good Magic Resistance, it does not do so well against Lightning or Fire.
Interestingly though, while it can't be upgraded, it does have a higher Poison and Bleed resistance than any other Medium armour set, and it is the lightest of all Medium sets, though this comes at the cost of its base defense stats.
