So far, so froody.

Whoa. That is a bit like saying that because big powerfull magnets screw up the workings of my watch, magnets are opposed to physics. After all, my watch works according to the laws of physics and the magnet stops it working, so therefore magnets stop physics from working.
IMHO Truestone is highly magical in a very raw and primeval way and this has a disruptive effect on complex magics such as spells. Thus it is not an anti-magic effect, but more an anti-spell effect.
