I guess I just need to put a bit more thought into balancing encounters.

If the wizard's spells fail him, he may need to fall back on some dodging and weapon skills, and old fashioned climbing and sneaking, just to survive. Fighters just don't have to deal with No Sword-Swinging Zones or not having enough FP to cast Punch Enemy In Face (or casting times, for that matter).
That wizards' usefulness is based entirely on their spell list is a "feature" of The Other Game, and I'm not upset it didn't get replicated here.
