Maybe have a dungeon where magic is sapped, and any use of it directly powers up the enemy. Or maybe an area where magic dun work period.

Well, that seems a bit much, especially if there are other magic users around.
Does that wizard dude have any weak points?

I mean, ideally, any encounter should only be completable with the help of the entire party, but I imagine that he's pushing to the other side of the spectrum, where he can solo things.

Well... it depends.

Early on a wizard is basically the win button but he can only hit that button so many times...

If nothing else, it forces them not to just go 'apply magicks until solved' at problems. Maybe give 'em a puzzle or something, a difficult maze, whatever.

Perhaps one of those 'face your greatest weakness wooooooo'
And then it turns out the answer is friendship or something.

If nothing else, another wizard with a better Initiative check. But it doesn't sound like he actually knows what he's doing, and therefore cheats, if I'm remembering correctly. So, most likely there's plenty to exploit there. You could probably get him with a Slinger whose stones have Silence cast on them; most spells have vocal components and he doesn't strike me as the type to have bothered to prepare a Silent Dimension Door.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Of course, he could have Silent Cast, or whatever that feat's called.

Silent Spell. It allows you to cast a spell that has verbal components silently.

Antimagic field, sor/wiz 6, cleric 8, magic 6, protection 6

No more mage-fuckery.

Or just have the dungeon constantly rumble with strong howling winds... forcing constant concentration checks.

Or just have rocks fall on the magic users as soon as they enter the dungeon. Rocks fall, players die.

He once read a farcical min-max guide on wizards that jokingly claimed that by playing a wizard, you are a god, and that you should act like it in-game and out. I don't think he realized it wasn't meant to be serious.
You mean, wizards aren't gods? *shock*

Well, he is playing Pathfinder. Wizards suck slightly more in PF from what I've heard.

...That reminds me that I've never actually played Pathfinder. I want to try it someday.

Oooooh - cleric Gestapo sniffing for wizards to ship them off to, er, re-education camps! And they can detect magic use, so he has to keep it down...
