I wrote a whole thing about my opinion of multiclassing, then I dipped my toes into the 5E rules. Discarded all the nonsense I wrote before 
. Have Irik verify this, he may rule differently. If you have proficiency with the armor type, then it does not interfere with spell casting, is the RAW. The only thing you will sacrifice is the spells you would have gained as a cleric, and you slow yourself down for ability score increases as those are class level dependent. I.E. if you remain a cleric you will raise your ability score at 12th level cleric, if you go the wizard route you have to take four levels before you get an ASI (9 cleric/4 wizard); also, if you only dip your toe into one level of wizard, you wouldn't get an ASI until you reached the equivelent of 13th level (12 cleric/wizard1). Not a huge sacrifice, but one worth knowing about. Page 163 of the player's handbook tells you all about multiclassing. Good thing that Proficiency Bonus's are level dependent and not tied to class.
