it's really hard to compare mages with clerics. mages have pretty horrid weapon selection, and clerics do too, but clerics can almost resemble second-rate melee fighters if you try hard enough. Mages have time stop/improved alacrity/vecna to cast every spell he knows, but has few really great defensive spells. Clerics cannot decrease their casting time except by Amulet of Power and Drow Elven Chain +3, while mages get AoP and RoV. So, in a battle of high levels, a lvl31 mage would clean up the floor with a lvl40 cleric in most cases. in the "real world" and the everlasting Roleplaying Perspective, killing a lvl40 cleric of any deity would cause holy fury to rain upon the mage and all he holds dear, which he would not survive for more than about 5 seconds. Slaying the favored of a god is not recommended.
