As godtouched races are inherently magical creatures, even those who do not use any magic can compete with the magic users. Those who do not use magic develop a high level of magical resistance, that allows them to soak spell damage. Further, godtouched races who physically train their bodies develop unbelievable levels of physical prowess. A non-magic-using swordsman can leap 20 feet into the air, cleave a thick tree with a single sword stroke, and sprint at the speed of a horse. It is largely this ability that has prevented swordplay from becoming obsolete in the face of magical devices that for all intents and purposes are military grade firearms.
