.... I am fairly certain no where in my statement did I even suggest mages need skill attacks. My suggestion was that sapphire chips not only give +skill attacks but +magic attack as well. Since those two are mutually exclusive (ie, no one able to perform a skill attack gets an advantage from +magic damage and vice versa) there wouldn't be any balance issue, unless you feel that mages would be overpowered by adding a bit more damage to their attacks.

But no, mages don't need skill attacks. If they had even more base damage and not such a large base miss rate they would be pretty good. Even considering their squishiness.
