Why mages are the strongest?

For the time being, yes. Mostly because of the insane cases of overpowered mages in Arcane Adventures, but also because an explanation as to what aura is has yet to be released, stopping berserkers and warriors from reaching a theoretical potential as there is no theory in the first place.

Souvella explains what aura is in game and Vetex has talked about it a few times on the forums

Can't find a screenshot of Souvella's dialogue but here it is from the wiki

Vetex's statements:

So aura is basically just magic-lite, which is why Vetex has said pure non-magic builds like berserkers or warriors typically can’t get as strong as the strongest mages. But they can still get pretty damn strong, top 15-25 of the verse according to him

I see, but wouldn’t that mean that fighter classes somehow manage to grow the ability to use magic-energy in a manner that doesn’t make use of magic circles, something that mages of this era can’t do due to it lowering one’s lifespan?

Still, that information somehow doesn’t solve the issue that there is no theory regarding the infusion of magic energy into one’s fists/weapons and why it reacts in so many different manners to so many different things.

Chaos when they meet a mysterious man named DubiousLittleTyp0 and they hear the man whisper the spell “million magics: testicular explosion”

Yeah I dunno, we have a shockingly little info on how magic works in general. It doesn’t even seem like that lifespan-lowering magic is even canon anymore since the lore doc now leads with humans unlocking magic circles right after getting magic from Prometheus, which is a darn shame in my opinion. And I also don’t know how those fighter classes are able to infuse magic energy if they can’t use magic to begin with, don’t even know if there’s any info on that

The life of an Arcane lore enjoyer is a life of unanswered questions :sob:
