GURPS mages are support types, you're not supposed to stand back and lug fireballs at people, but rather stand back a throw illusions for the like at them, like creating the illusion that there's blacks disks in their eyes, preventing them from seeing (That's a -10 to both attack and defense rolls, all for a measly 2 FP, ah for the Mekton Zeta crit rules)
