I'm not entirely sure what bit you were replying to here. If it's the bit about not having the time (supposedly) to learn how to use weaponry, that's not a vow, that's a statement that says that, in the world of the twenty-siders, magic takes all frickin' day to learn. If it's about the idea that magic can't flow through metal armor, well, I can't help you there, because then in D&D they shouldn't be able to enchant metal armor and weapons. But nobody said that D&D made much sense, anyway. :)

If you can't break it, that's a curse or something. Vows are breakable--you're not supposed to break it, but you can. I think you're confused because the book says "Many Vows end after a specified period of time," but those are vows like "for the next year, I won't eat cake." If it's a Vow and you break it, you feel guilty. If it's a curse, then you, I dunno, get turned into a cake yourself. Or get smote by the gods of evil baking.
