I don't think it's necessarily intentional, but I see the magician as having a place in this game. I count it as one of several classes that's simple to play tolerably well and as such a good choice for mediocre or bad players. Such people are a fact of life in social games, so it's just as well they have places to go. Over the years I've known a number of players who could sit on something like a magician or rogue and give a fair contribution when the same person would've been a constant source of frustration and annoyance on a more complicated character.
