Shadowrun does a fine job with elven snipers, dwarves with mini-guns, reconnaissance quadcopter drones, tracked combat drones and fireball toti g mages.

After all, a grenade launcher does almost the same thing as the mage spell without years of practice.

Have you played Shadowrun? A grenade launcher is powerful but a Mage is one of the most destructive things ever as long as they can avoid killing themselves with their own magic.
