How to fight a mage?
I have thought about this ever since coming up with the idea for my story.
In a very short summary, their are three main factions, the SDF, Magrum, and Nippon. These aren't necessarily countries, more like organizations within their respective parts of the world.
Now my question is very simple, how do you even fight a mage. I would assume it depends on how magic works in your story, but then again its magic, would ordinary people even stand a chance. For some context, the SDF should be considered conventional in warfare means. They do have trump cards but their mostly take after the USA military. They'll have a form of modern weapons and other equipment, but could a conventional force as we know it take on a mage.
If you have any advice I would love to hear it, and if you need further context to give a better answer please ask, ill give as much as I can.
Edit: I can confidently say my question has been answered and I thank everyone for the quick responses, first time in this subreddit and it did not disappoint, I guess I was thinking about it to much really.
