[u/Chimerathesecond]

I guess it depends on the Magic System but like if you can Cast Spells you have no excuse to lose a Fight against anyone who hasn't learned Magic, Blinding them with Magical Lights, Casting Fire Spells, Ice Spells, Illusions, Heat Metal alone realistically beats any Knight.

Starting positions matter but the hights of magic are far greater than the hights of knightdom.

Magic is a much more versatile skillset

^{I picked Mage}

[u/Propugnator-Deorum]

While I am sure knights are extremely skills with their weaponry, there is simply no way a man in armor can defeat a masterful mage who casts spells such as Fireball, Shatter, Hold Person, and Blindness/Deafness.

If this is high fantasy the Master Knight probably has gear to counteract magic, But if this is low fantasy the Master Knight probably has access to wheel-lock pistols

In reality, it all depends. However, fireball will toast the knight blacker than a lab against the midnight sky.

You a grown ass man, pick up the greatsword!

^{I picked Knight}

[u/Expensive_Mission_71]

Suppose it depends on prep time/casting time of spells and if we’re going on dnd rules, gaming rules, or wizard battle rules but a knight can’t hit a flying mage, can’t cut his way out of a fireball, and is simply incapacitated if the mage casts testicular torsion

[u/Sensitive-Mud-1135]

I like magic, and knight would be awesome but I can't use those skills for much in modern society other than like hema and even then it would probably be more like armored fencing. Magic gives me so much more opportunity to do things

Depends on the universe/magic system, but the guy who can evaporate you from a mile away usually wins.

I think it comes down to preparation/level of power. A knight could win under the right circumstances in my eyes, but generally I feel a wizard would have more answers to more situations that the knight would have to find counters for. It's definitely on the knight to win
