I just realized something ironic. In this setting, without divine casters, the arcane casters (Crystal Mage, Medic) are the armored spellcasters and the primary source of healing, while the psionic manifesters (Mentalist, Psykin) are all lightly armored.
Lol.
*Overhead shot of crowded metropolis, night time*
<Don Lafontaine Voice Over> "In the distant future, in the crowded streets of Evernight, a revolution begins."
*Show crowd scenes*
<D.L.V.O.> "Targeted for their talents, those with the gift of magic find themselves on borrowed time."
*Show magic users in street clothes being 'gunned' down by street thugs. Cut to a group of people sitting around a table, in a dark room. The only source of light is a lamp above them. One leans in to show his face in the light*
<Male Mage (Played by Steven Seagal)> "If we don't do something drastic, and soon, we won't stand a chance."
*A mage leans in from the darkness, a wild smile across his face*
<Male Mage (Played by Raul Julia)> "Gentlemen... I have a plan."
<D.L.V.O.> "Pushed to their limit, they're out to teach the world that just because you're a caster..."
*Various shots of armor being put on dramatically*
<D.L.V.O.> ".... doesn't mean you're an outcast!"
*Exterior shot of building. Sign says 'Fighter Academy'. It explodes. Badass shot of four mages, male and female mix, walking away from an explosion*
<D.L.V.O.> "This summer, director Quentin Tarentino teams up with legendary writer and visionary Gary Gygax to challenge your views on Arcane Spell Failure."
*Cut to a fighter on the ground, severely injured*
<Fighter> "Have mercy!"
*Cut up to a mage in plate mail made of car tires and steel plates holding a wand down at the fighter*
<Mage> "Mercy is for the clergy." *bright flash effect. Cut back to see the fighter polymorphed into a white rabbit. Mage twirls the wand like a gun, then slides it into a holster and walks off*
<D.L.V.O.> "Tin Can Casters!"
*Display the name in a font that looks like it's made of steel. Behind the lettering, there's a stock footage explosion*
<MPAA Voice Over> "This film has not yet been rated."
