It's the same 'problem' as having a highly skill fighter using, for example, Feint / Target Eye combos, letting them reliably one-shot an opponent every second. You just make sure that some fights have Zombies or Golems or flying witches or something else that isn't vulnerable to their one-shot fight ender.
It isn't really the same, as the Feint needs a good roll to be actually good, and even then, he would have to make it a Deceptive Attack otherwise the enemy would have a very good chance of defending him/herself. Also, a Fighter needs to be way stronger and more specialized than the Wizard to pull this off.

Also, it isn't really guaranteed to be a fight-ender, whereas the magic effects last like 1 minute, which is 60 turns.
