Magery also improves Thaumatology skill. Some mages in fiction tend to have strong Will and broad talent in IQ skills, but those are far from universal traits.

If you happen to specifically want such a character, it will of course be most efficient to buy IQ, but that does not mean that IQ 14, Magery 3 is an obvious choice for mages in general.
