For a Barbarian to effectively "take down" a good Mage, they need to put in some effort. After all, decent Mages can summon units, cast spells on them to remove the "angel" buff from the Barbarian, and so on.

Besides, Barbarians have limited mana, and by definition, they shouldn't have access to magic. This is restricted by the guild system, as you need to capture a Castle with that particular school of magic. And ultimately, Mages are much better, with their sophistication and elegant way of destroying Barbarians: Death Grip, and the Barbarian doesn't have that.
