In general, the word “malus” simply means “penalty”. In Ryzom, it’s a numeric rating that specifically refers to how badly the encumberance of your weapons and armor affects your ability to perform special actions.
Malus makes all actions cost more HP/Stamina/Sap/Focus to use, although fighting actions are only affected half as much as others. Malus also reduces spell ranges and may increase casting times. Finally, Malus reduces the maximum possible quality of crafted items.
You can see your total Malus on your Personality screen. The lowest possible total Malus is 0. Light Armor, Magic Amplifiers, and crafting and harvesting tools all add 0 Malus. Weapons, shields, and heavier armors add more.
Malus does not directly affect your chance of fumbling a spell, but it may indirectly increase your chance of getting interrupted if it slows your casting and allows enemies to hit you more times before you finish.
Malus does not increase the chance of a crafting failure.
