Our powers are substantial enough that we can, and we have dedicated mages and artillery for those occasions.

Shouldn't need a lot of explanation when there's literally cutscenes of the Xaela's flying on birds and down airships with axes and magic.

A cutscene of Hien riding a Yol cutting a sky armor out of the sky with one stroke of his katana.

We also have sidequests in Stormblood where the alliance takes Magitek and trains soldiers to use it.
