Who is stronger, those who rely on swords or magic? (Follow-up to the poll: Who has sufficiently powerful magic?)

Without Orcs, Humans are the strongest; they don't really need magic (although they can learn it, unlike Orcs). The weakest warriors are Mages, but they excel in magic, and no other race can delve so deeply into magic and choose any school. All the others are average. Necromancers and Warlocks are mages with some warrior skills, Sylvan and Demons are warriors with some mage skills. But Dwarves are the golden mean, the most balanced race in this regard.
O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.


G.K. Chesterton: English Hymnal
