[Elfenlied]

If you (and your rigger) have some nuyen, downtime and a workshop, the rigger could take a large van and mod it to walker mode (to handle the difficult terrain) while you summon a top force spirit (twice your Magic) and get it to anchor a top force ward (twice its Magic) on the van. If you only have one spirit working on this ward it will take 1 hour per force point, so you might have to make do with F14 or so (depending on season determining time between dawn and dusk). When you enter the mission zone, the hostile spirits will be hindered by your mobile ward. Your casting will still be hindered by the background count, but at least you can defend better against the spirits.

So essentially, you're building a heavily shielded mech to steamroll the opposition? Reminds me of this.

[Method]

Lob some incendiary mortars I to the building. When the place is on fire, they will come out. Then you switch to frag mortars and really ruin their day. Learn the appropriate Slay [toxic badness] spell and snipe any spirits that come out with them. Once all the lackeys are sufficiently salsa'd then you deal with the Mage.
