On a plus side the Stigma's do cost a lot of money and have a level restriction.
One way they could reduce the number of spell casters wearing the heaviest of armours. Is if they had it so that to wear the heaviest of armour. You need to be proficient in the use of all the armours lighter than the one that you want to use. Adding that many stigmas would leave you with no room for any other additions.
I'm not going to explain here again because I've done so in a number of other posts, but I really think people are overestimating how imbalanced a mage wearing plate can be... see my other posts for detailed explanations...

That said, I can't really see anyone downgrading armor... maybe if it made your attack speed faster as a fighter or something, but then you're still just turning yourself into a high offense, low defense berserker... good for group PvE where there's another tank I guess, but would be complete crap for PvP.
