I don't agree at all. It's just that the really powerful magicians rarely interact with humans. The average Uz mother would utterly wipe the floor with most humans in a magic duel. >>
'Physical' and 'material' are not opposites of 'magical' in this context. I would change the emphasis of Uz experience to the phenomenal world -if they can see it, smell it, hear it, eat it then it matters - if not then it doesn't. In this sense they are not mystics (who think that stuff you can see, hear, smell, feel, eat, doesn't matter).
My own choice for Troll Mystic Deity would be Jakaboom, but that is just because I think Jakaboomers indulge in drumming trances. I am also reminded of MANA YOOD SUSHAI, and Skarl the Drummer, but that is off topic, and not Glorantha.
