As I recall, Jason said you could now parry or dodge the damage spells. That makes a big difference. You still potentially can get splattered, but at the point there's a trade-off in intensity to risk; a Mage can only do that sort of thing a few times, while a fighting type can do it all day.
And to be honest, it wasn't like RQ Sorcery couldn't clobber someone perfectly well; it just took a fairly high level of skill to do it.
