Depending on how heavy armor users may sink in water.
If one were to disrupt the process of "armoring up" the results would be user losing the
ability to armor up for quite awhile.
Selective armoring is rare, in short it is an "all or none" principle, either fully armored
or not at all.
May sacrifice speed for durability.
Reverting back to original form or natural state may be moderately difficult or
irreversible.
