Casters are extremely powerful in pathfinder - this is true.
They can bend reality via wish/miracle, resurrect the dead, cross planar borders, fool the senses, divine the future...
But this post is not about casters.
This is about a mundance PC(*mundane* being defined as "cannot cast spells, does not use UMD to emulate spellcasting) who wants to kill spellcasters as efficiently as possible.
Here is my attempt - any advice is appreciated.

The saves above are WITHOUT MAGIC ITEMS.
You can probably assume a +5 cloak of resistance, and improved ability scores, and other items that increase your defenses - a Rod of Dwarven might improves your racial bonus to saves by +1, for example.
-------------------------
I need advice concerning:
*Equipment, especially useful magic items; please refrain from suggesting wands/scrolls to be used via UMD.
*Ranged options
*Mobility options
*Anything useful vs spellcasters that I missed
