Sure. But there are two different concepts here: The wizard who doesn't go around in armor, and the wizard who is
not allowed to wear armor. Or use weapons. Does your mage not pick up that sword because he hasn't been trained to use it, or because it's magically impossible for him to do so, or because his magic will desert him if he messes with weapons? Gandalf, at least, was a pretty impressive swordsman. Or swordsmaia.
