The spell storing armor upgrade (Ult Equip) has many vague points in its description. There are other posts, but there are a few points I still need clarified if possible here. Some of these will fall into the debate of "Rules as written" vs "Rules as intended (IMO)".
1) If an enemy strikes you the touch spell stored in the armor may be cast at the attacker as a swift action on your next turn.
1a - Rules as written - even if he was using ride by attack or is plane shifted before your next turn to the Abyss, you can still hit him because it says you can.
1b - Rules as intended - spell is cast as immediate action upon being hit, subject to ability to touch the target.
Which?
2) If the armor is what is casting as a swift action:
2a - do you have to use YOUR swift action?
2b - Is it the armor's caster level, your caster level (if you stored the spell), or the base caster level of the spell (like a wand)?
3) If you cast the stored spell:
3a - Does the stored spell use your caster level if you stored it?
3b - Are you subject to possible spell failure penalties to cast the stored spell as you are wearing armor?

Just a note...RAW wise, it does not say you use your swift on your next turn...it says "Anytime a creature hits the wearer with a melee attack or melee touch attack, the armor can cast the spell on that creature as a swift action if the wearer desire." Now since armor does not have swift actions, this armor as written technically does nothing other then to eat spells. Nor do you have swift actions while not your turn (which it most likely will not be unless you are drawing AoO), so you can't even do that. Basically this enchantment doesn't need a rule clarification, it needs an errata.
