Is there anything other then mithril which makes armor count as a size/weight category lower?

Thanks for the help.

Actually count as a size smaller? No. There are lots of things you can do/add to reduce Armor Check Penalty or Arcane Spell Failure, if thats what you are trying to do. So...If you are trying to get someone without medium armor proficiency into full plate, you are stuck, but if you are trying to get a wizard with 0% spell failure in full plate, that is very possible at the cost of only 1ish spellcaster levels.

Frostburn has the blue ice material (700gp for light, 3000gp for medium and 7000gp for heavy). You go one category lighter, Max Dexterity +1, Armor Penalty -2. However, unless you're immune to the effects of cold, it being made out of ice, you also take a -1 penalty to reflex saves and initiative.
