A bit late to the party, but I believe your 'naked' 178 defence is actually somewhere around 177,7 (assumed) - but the game displays it as the nearest whole number. When it adds the 20% bonus, it uses the decimals as well, and then display the total as a whole number again.

Before	After	%Bonus	Notes
159	190	19.5%	Naked; SL120; 45 Faith

Which would make my actual 'naked' magic defense around 158,6 if I'm right about the decimals.

Another theory:
It looks like it always rounds the decimals down, until you hit the next whole number. This may be the only cause.
It should also be why no combination gives more than 20%.

Before	After	(+20%)	%Bonus	Notes
160	192	-	20.0%	Naked; SL125; 44 Faith
215	258	-	20.0%	Full rouge set
185	222	-	20.0%	Rouge Chest
175	210	-	20.0%	Rouge Gloves
175	228	-	20.0%	Rouge Gloves + Boots
211	253	253.2	19.9%	Full Black Leather
179	214	214.8	19.5%	Black Leather Chest
184	220	220.8	19.5%	Black Gloves + Boots

Penalty to Damage

spell	without	with
soul arrow?	112	66
flame toss?	89	52

I only have a toon with 6 Mag atm, so it's a bit small sample size. But looks like about 40% penalty.
I'll add the numbers to the page anyway, since some should be better than none, they can always be changed if they are way off.
