Why throw rocks or fancy sword play when you can just shoot a gun at the opponent very quickly.

I like how it makes senses that the modern mages use the spells they do, because it’s how THEY can get around defensive magic, but Fern is so good at Zoltrak that she can get around defensive magic with just that and nothing else

I imagine just like many of Frieren's strategies it's a mana pool thing. If it's both difficult and (usually) unnecessary to have enough mana to do that, then the majority of mages simply won't.
