Vampires and dinosuars fighting it out in a medieval setting

Also, in the common "elemental magic" setting, firearms (especially anything before percussion caps) are often trivially easy to defeat with magic. If you can make it rain on demand, you've can pretty much eliminate an army of matchlocks or flintlocks. If you can ward off arrows, bullets are fundamentally the same thing.If magic is so powerful and so accessible, there is no incentive to develop firearms, isn't it?
Indeed, early firearms were extremely unreliable, especially before the introduction of Percussion Caps, although still effective if well used on the battlefield. I'm aware of models of flintlocks designs specially made to resist water that was made for the navies.Also, in the common "elemental magic" setting, firearms (especially anything before percussion caps) are often trivially easy to defeat with magic.

There's also a pretty common trope (in western fantasy) of wizards' guilds or similar actively suppressing technical developments.
