Any Solo Mage is DEAD MEAT, unless he/she has max level and keeps away from all larger groups of enemies and those with magic resistance/damn good saving throws, thieves will backstab, fighters will use magical weapons which will bypass many of the protection spells, mages will remove protection spells, clerics will remove protection and bash with magical maces and flails, druids will use summoning and magical scimitars, monsters will use combinations of these various tactics, but here is the invincible mage: Sorcerer aided by one or two fighters, a thief, a cleric and maybe a psionic, nothing beats it, here is how this little group will defeat Drow and Illithids, while a solo Mage will be dead meat:

Drow: Death Spell, how many Drow have over 8 HD? Not many of those in the Underdark, besides, a Sorcerer would be foolish to enter the Underdark without his Warrior friends.

Illithid: My thief friends helped me there, and so did my druid friend with her summoning.
