I am about to start playing in a new game. I am going to be playing a Duskblade/Osteomancer (from Dragon Compendium), I was wondering because it does not actually say can you wear armor? and what is the duration on Seize the Core?

thankyou for your input

Osteomancers are not proficient with weapons or armor. You gain armor proficiency for being a duskblade, so I guess as long as you stick to light or medium armor, you should negate any arcane spell failure.

And since Seize the Core does not have a duration listed in the paragraph, I would rule that it has the same duration as Wield the Core. Wield the Core has a duration of 1 minute per Osteomancer level, and I consider "wielding" the core much more difficult than just "seizing" the core.
