Plus an extremely high level mage can still do some damage in melee - especially if they are wearing a girdle of strength.
A high level mage can whoop a low level fighter's but in melee, so they aren't necessarily weaklings.
Consider Gandalf in LOTR - watch his fight with the demon - and he's an old man - classic scene by the way.
