Details:
In Default and Age of Heroes, the permissible leaders are the units of the
correct level from that faction with movement no greater than six (plus the
Lieutenant line for Loyalists). This cut-off is because high movement is a
very strong ability, and movement above six is regarded as too good to
balance.
The Silver Mage is included in the list of leaders for Age of Heroes, because
it's movement statistic is six. However this seems to be an oversight, since
the Teleport ability means that its effective movement is much higher.
Age of Heroes is widely regarded as unbalanced, and one of the major reasons
is that the Silver Mage is seen as too good. There seems to be a consensus
that removing this as a leader option (from both Loyalists and Rebels) would
improve the balance of the era.
See for example the discussion at

linked to in that post.
