The phrase, “My clothes are warded! Even if I wished to accede to your demand, it would not work on them.

Although there may be several different connotations that can be given to the phrase, the most obvious interpretation is that the speaker is shocked that the person he is conversing with has a mental illness and has no regard for his own health and wellbeing.
