Using stone age technology like swords, spears, and knives will require close combat that someone with elementals will easily be able to block off and stall with their powers. It should go without saying that not every character will have these, as the powers are quite expensive and not readily available. So there should be defenses. If not guns, what else? Furthermore, guns are just as, if not less, powerful as elemental powers. I'm not into restricting players of either thing personally.

While I like Luciferr's idea of using bows in place of guns, I still have a hard time imagining anyone being able to combat those with elemental powers, or powers in general without some kind of weapon themselves. As someone who doesn't plan to go overboard with powers, I'd like my characters to - again - be able to defend themselves.
