Mage Armor (Ex)

Add mage armor to the robe magus' spell list as a first level magus spell, and add it to his spell book as an additional starting spell. At 4th level, the robe magus becomes a master at using force armors, and the armor bonus of mage armor and bracers of armor stack when worn by a robe magus. In addition, a robe magus gains a +1 modifier to the armor bonus provided by mage armor at 7th level. This bonus increases by 1 for every six magus of the mind levels thereafter (+2 at 13th, +3 at 19th level) and only affects the magus himself.

This replaces the medium armor and heavy armor abilities.
