I consider Muscle Wizards to be an explicit feature of the game. Of course doing magic requires good physical health. I think of a high IQ low ST wizard as being old and learned but withered and tired, and a low IQ high ST wizard to be a young and virile sorcerer or possibly even a monk type character. A high ST and IQ wizard is like Ganondorf, a paragon of the powers of mortals.
