Their magicka is limited though, enough so that warriors with swords can kill them without magic. If their mages were limitless the Aldmeri Dominion could have won the war justby teleporting and killing the emperor and alll his generals. But they can't because there are several limitations.

And they can't copy our tech, these fuckers haven't made any improvement to crossbows two hundred years after we see them in Morrowind. Hell, they're not even using them except for a small group of vampire hunters. And they were originally made by the Dwemer sometime before or during the first era, so it's actually a lot longer than two hundred years.
