You would have to get creative to take out a tank, but magic is kinda limited by gameplay. If you all said gameplay does not equal lore, stick with it!

Magic is always OP, because of endless possibilities. You won't see an elf take out a tank with a firebolt, but the same firebolt, if concentrated into a very thin, high impact jet, can easily burn through armor like a HEAT warhead.

Once magic is factored into the equation, technology generally loses unless the magic is heavily limited. Is there a set limit in TES? Not really.

Of course, I'd rather the real people win, but when you got real magic, it's hard to see how they would.

Sufficiently advanced tech is indistinguishable from magic. We are not sufficiently advanced.
