Martial and Magic characters have entirely different mechanisms of scaling: magician characters' base damage is drawn from their powers, and modified heavily by their gear; martial characters' base damage is drawn from their gear and heavily modified by their powers. There's not meant to be parity in stat numbers there.But even if we include those mages can get +50 spellpower and dawnbreak from their clothing, which massively outstrips what martials can get from theirs.
