Mage Armor Plus

Originally, the 'Mage Armor' perk wasn't at all flexible.

Health lost. The damage reduction gradually diminishes as Magicka falls

below half. The energy shield is disabled when your hands are lowered.

Destruction:

Robes of the Magi

The requirement to wear robes in the chest slot; for the perks "Energy Shield", "Geomancer" & "Robes of the Magi", remains unchanged as set by the author of Ordinator.

Meaning; 

You will still be required to wear robes in the ches
