Not that powerful, certainly compared to many other roleplaying systems. 

Consider:
Spells consume ST. ST is life. And many Spells either have short fixed 
duration, or require continuous outlay of ST. 

Virtually all spells require the Wizard to be in close proximity to the 
person they're cast on. Thrown spells in particular are not going to be 
thrown very far. 

So you get closer to death with every spell, and you have to be near 
who you're casting it on. Or you have to have enormous reserves of ST 
at your disposal (so you can continously power a spell, so you can get 
away from the subject, or send him away from youi). 

Regardless, I think you'll find the Advanced Wizard spells more to your 
liking in this regard.
