Weapons are basically equalizers. Â Someone else is bigger and stronger than you? Â Okay, then you get a weapon that will allow you to hurt them without endangering yourself. Â Even though magic is incredibly powerful and frightening, a well placed arrow might well be able to pierce the skull of an inattentive mage. Â It makes sense that they'd have non-magical soldiers in their ranks (plus, those "mundanes" could likely be "boosted" via magical buffs!).
