The Armored mage feat does not seem to be working as spell failure does occur when wearing light or medium armor.

I know that when your character equips an armor a message will be displayed in chat window ('Arcane spell failure: 5%' or something like that). That's OK, because the feat grants reduced ASF only for Duskblade/Hexblade spells:

Quote
Armored Mage: Normally, armor of any type interferes with an arcane spellcaster’s gestures, which can cause spells to fail if those spells have a somatic component. A duskblade’s limited focus and specialized training, however, allows you to avoid arcane spell failure so long as you stick to light armor and light shields. This training does not extend to medium or heavy armors, nor to heavy shields.

This ability does not apply to spells gained from a different spellcasting class.
At 4th level, you learn to use medium armor with no chance of arcane spell failure.
At 7th level, you learn to use a heavy shield with no chance of arcane spell failure.


Do you have problems with casting Duskblade/Hexblade spells in light armor? AFAIK it works as intended.
