The 10th level fighter still only has the magic abilities of a 1st level 
mage.  He would still face a challenge in a low level dungeon just as if 
he was a low level mage if he relied completely on magic.

Granted, he would have more hp and a better armor class (although not 
necessarily that much so, if he has to remove his armor to cast spells), 
but he would still have a severe mana point shortage.
