With 104 ranks (204 bonus) of Armor I am getting a 15% spell failure wearing metal breastplate trying to cast from the paladin circle.

WTF?

Remove your helmet/aventail/greaves.

While we are on the subject. I'am a wizard with 15 ranks in armor use, i'am wearing full body double leather and i'am wearing a helmet, arm, and leg greaves, plus a aventail and my spell hinderance is only 4%(as it should be per the spell hindrence chart), is that becuase my double leather covers my whole body? Would gauntlets increase my spell hinderance?

You, sir, are a scholar and a gentleman. Thank you.

You can add whatever you like to full-body armor. It won't increase the hindrance any. The issue only arises when you're trained for a partial armor (i.e. mbp) and add armor accessories, which raise your AsG beyond your training.

if you cast in a sanct or at a table you will not have to remove armor and will get no hinderance

Believe it or not I actually knew that and I have been trying to tell people that there are super-duper-non-spell-failure-sanctuary-super-nodes that Krakiipedia does not list. I suspect there is one in every town.
