Maybe. Maybe not. You just have to be smart about fighting. I mean, I could probably take down any idiot with a sword without trying, but a smart person with a sword could take down an idiot sorcerer by knowing what her strengths and weaknesses are. Like how you know not to let a swordsman get close to you; and he'd know -- if he was smart -- how to make you waste your bullets before he seriously threatened you.
If you ever run into my friend Talia from home, don't tell her I said that. We have a 'thing' about weapons versus magic.
