Temporary invisibility (or, more likely, unnoticeability) is a minor trick by Myth standards. Pathfinders don't have much magical talent, and they channel all of what they've got into telepathic stuff. They're powerful units, but only because they've learned to coordinate their comparatively minor magical skills with their firepower for maximum effect. In terms of raw magery, any Warlock can outdo them.
There are hints that Dwarves may be able to become powerful mages--the Maul of the Dwarven Kings must have been made by an accomplished sorcerer, for instance. But for the most part they're way behind humans magic-wise.

Dwarves are certainly higher-tech than Humans, but they're not nearly as far ahead as one might expect. The two cultures are still comparable; a group of Legionnaires can fight a group of Dwarves and hope to win. If Dwarves had started out at the same level as Humans when the two races first appeared, I think they'd have bio weapons and plasma rifles by now.
