Okay, so my character is an gunslinger adept and I am always getting seriously ass kicked by mana spells (the GM knows that my weakness).

What, if anything, can a non-mage character do to increase their defense against magic spells? We know to try and get the drop on mages, but what about those times when mages get a drop on you?

Basically, all I roll against mana spells is will power. What else is there? There has to be something better than willpower + edge or else die
