Me;
- -..Something along the lines of being born with an intrinsic magical ability. In its raw state this could be used to resist the effects of magic....

Of course then you have the problem of what the potential magical ability is used to resist against. Obviously the resistance tables as they stand now would be useless if for example;

Jake (Potential ability 15 of which 2 points have been converted through devotion) casts his disruption at the creature (Potential ability 18). As it stands difference equals 16, why bother.

Instead each spell could be given a Potential ability score. This would also allow for greater variation between tribal versions of spells, etc. In the case of sorcery the intensity skill could increase this score.
