During our last session a rigger placed 2 rotordrones into my mages flat and started shooting at me. I didn´t have an energybolt and i thought i would toast myself with an fireball. So i have chosen to flee and jump right through a window...but is it really that way? I have a LOT of spells, but none of them seemed to fit to this situation. Imp. Invis. didn´t work because they had a sensor package including radar, levitation caused no real effect and if these spells don´t work...please what is left for a mage? Is there no real way to f**ck these buggers?
