It's simply because of engine limitation.

The game has no difference between 19 int mage and 13 int mage on using a spell. The only difference they make is their chance to learn the spell and the maximum number of spells which can be negated once you put your hand on potion of mind focusing.

So, high int is relatively meaningless in this game while high dex is meaningful and constitution penalty doesn't work for mage, thief, cleric.... This is simply why elf is better sorcerer or mage than gnomes.
