Hey, for tactics against mages, always carry trapped pouches, (the red pouches you see around), they explode if you double click them and hurt you a little so they break paralyze. If you don't see trapped pouches around the house, get normal pouches and ask for one of the mages to trap (mojo trab) your pouches (poudj), it's important to carry greater cure pots as well, and some greater heals so that when a mage dumps all it's spells on you, you can stick a bandage on you and drink a heal to get to full health, fighting a mage 1v1 is difficult, so whenever you fight on a mage, just try to survive and get help, unless you get lucky and get him redlined.
