First off Welcome to IW!
Secondly, because A) After the mage XP overeaches the kensais original level, he can
A) Use his melee abilites and
B) Cast spells.
This, coupled with the mage rules (no armor) work exceptionally well with the kensai rules (no armor), makes it a Godlike mage AND fighter.
For example. Bob the kensai duals at lvl 12 to a mage. Once his mage level reaches 12, he can use the swords that he originally used as a kensai. Now, not only can he cast amazing spells, but he can also slaughter anything in his path with his blades. This is often done when soloing, as it is one the main "power classes".
