Oh, derp. I can read.
Still, while they might be magically more powerful, I still think we could possibly consider them "mere mortals." In the sense that they ARE mortal (and thus can die), and born of Man thus possessing Man's trappings and failings. Which makes me wonder if we might ever see a "fallen" or "evil" Padjal (perhaps that has something to do with the "sinister means" to gain access to Succor that was mentioned?).
Fallibility and power aren't intrinsically linked, though. Many main villains are powerful but have their failings which cause them to ultimately lose in the end, after all.
