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

In DF you can have a fighter with skill-20 and Extra Attack straight out of the box, that's without putting points into Techniques or extra skill. This fighter doesn't need good rolls on Feint or to use Deceptive Attack in order to bypass skill-14 opponents.
A Magery +6 wizard out of the box has a similar skill of 19 but has the range penalty to contend with, taking the roll from 'probably succeeds, now lets check if they resist' through to 'no chance'.
There are issues with Magic but save-or-die isn't a problem IMO.
