Ok, but that's when the use of the magic is inapropriate.

Hmm.. it has been a while since I read that bit. My memory is being coloured by an in-built bias of mine. I believe that, all other things being equal, the best counter to a magical attack should be a magical defence, and the best counter to a mundane attack should be a mundane defence.
There is nothing to suggest this in the rules, it's just my instinctive feeling on the subject.
