Think about it, he doesn't need physical might. He could have just had the ability to manipulate weak people/things/etc. and it all added together caused so much problems. When I think of it, I think of X-men. The professor is an old cripple guy in a wheel chair who is very powerful, but not the most powerful. But he is more or less the leader. Just think of the Black Magician as an evil Professor X.
What about the whole... infested the maple world in darkness, sealed away the gods, turned entire lands into icy tundras, creating and commanding entire armies, poisoning the land, destroying entire countries, Sealing the 5 greatest heros of all time... thing
I don't think the whole black mage legend is built off of "jedi mind" tricks
