Ion, if he has any measure of inteligence he will keep some form of barrier aroiund at all times.

Also, upon revision of my previous statement, I have concluded that with the level of TECHNOLOGY we have today, the magic user would be able decimate us. This is because I forgot to add in the fact that we do not actually have limitless resources, eventually,
after we throw 999 9 9 9 9% of the worlds military at this fucker he just walks in with fucking magic physics defying rock golems and takes over the world with little military resistance.

Rock barrier? Bullets can easily penetrate steel, so why not rocks?
Fire barrier? Bullets are metal. Metal does not easily melt.
Snow barrier? Ahahaha.
Water barrier? Ahahaha.
Lightning barrier? Hello, lightning rods.
Magic anti-bullet barrier? There are missiles that explode with a very large blast radius and travel very very fast too.

Magic is basicly godmoding, its level of OPness is only up to the person who makes up the charecter that uses it.

If that guy had everything as his ally, he wouldn't be able to kill anything because everything is his friend.

I disagree, with the level of technology we have today, a single magic-user would be outclassed by almost any modern armored fighting vehicle. However, let us test a few situations, shall we?

Assault Rifleman Vs. Mage


Modern Fighting Vehicle Vs. Mage


Modern Fighter Jet Vs. Mage


I tend to think that in a full-fledged war between a modern army and a magical army, the modern one would have a bit of an upper hand. Obviously, the magical one would not have to worry about ammunition, fuel, and the like. But I honestly do not think that magic would out-class technology. While the modern one would have to deal with logistical issues, they would also be far more effective in combat.

Also, most series depict magic as something you are born with. Obviously, if that were the case, mages could not be replaced when they fall in combat. Of course, I think that magic would have far more powerful medical care than technology, but all of the healing spells in the world cannot heal you from a bad case of liquified head.

On the other hand, people can be trained to use modern equipment. Although I personally believe that true engineering is something that cannot be fully taught (Most machines that I see manufactured nowadays I find insulting to the technological arts), it is still a hell of a lot easier to learn than bloody magic.

Therefore, I think that while both sides would experience losses, the modern army would probably win.

.... What the hell did I just spend an hour ranting about..?
