Responding late, but: This doesn't seem quite right, from a rules-lawyer perspective. See
http://www.heroquest-rpg.com/support/hq_faq.html#Magic, first question/answer: "Although common magic abilities cannot be used as to 'cause an active effect' (page 104), they can be used as resistance in a contest, if the ability is appropriate. Using an ability for resistance does not count as using that ability actively in a contest."

(Which doesn't make the character any less interesting.)
