I work on the policy of resolve as if the mages physical body was
there if you force it to push and shove, therefore.
Most of the time the mage is simply going to get knocked flying and
end up out of the way if however he becomes trapped (be careful at
the zoo) i suspect 'mage pancake' is the right result. And thanks to
damage trasference his poor mates get deluged with the mess when the
physical body implodes as well.
