And as an educated guess from someone who's played loads of RPG's in his life know for a fact that mages are always dependant on stats, skills, and equipment. Their average weapons are staves and rods, which have no fighting style or any melee factors.
Ergo, staves and rods are most commonly set out in RPG's as skill totems that enable their respective users to use various magic based elemental skills. Mage weapons have no other use other than using said skills and the rest is basicly Stats + Equipment addatives x Skill Levels or skill strengths.
Remember, theres no such thing as a mage using an axe. The game won't allow it, even if a mage can weild a mace, they still can't use magic with it. Their skills make up for the Multipliers.
