The problem is that it wasn't just a better mage; it was specifically a better sorcerer. It meant opposition that didn't have sorcerers (as was the case with any barbarian or lower culture) weren't in the running. I don't think that's good game design. The effect would have been less severe (though I still think unbenign; I don't see the primary function of a mage is to augment the hell out of the rest of the players) if sorcery was the only magic system.
