That's why every "mage duel" I've ever seen in Shadowrun consists
of a Reaction test to see which one can get his gun out quicker. With
spell defense, shielding, and drain, it's just easier to blow the guy's
head off.
When I played a combat mage, my favorite anti-mage weapon was a
Remington Roomsweeper. And it worked very nicely, thankyouverymuch.
