Well one way to think of it is MAD. Don't nuke us and we won't nuke you. Complete with all sorts of false alarms possibly causing an astral first strike.
There could also be conventions prohibiting use of poison, etc. Most spells, unlike D&D, tend to be more useful for assassinations rather than common battlefield effects.
I haven't really thought this one through. It'll be interesting to follow this thread.
