Says whom? Narcojets are low-speed, low-momentum darts (why they use
impact, rather than ballistic armour). Furthermore, most animals and
humans CAN withstand a hit with a tranq dart at 40 feet. Or even less.

Hell, beating the mage over the head with a baseball bat when projecting
still has them make a body roll to resist damage. This sounds like some
LOUSY excuse not to make it work.
