Advantages of Mages over other races.

As I understand it, Ghost was saying that 2nd place is too good for absolute knowledge, and not the other way around. And I agree with him. And the Elven skill isn't that strong either. The spell power skill for mages is good, but it's hard to get, because playing without magic at the beginning is very difficult for a mage, not a warrior. But it's different for warlocks :P
