Stats aren't terribly useful for NPCs. (And HQ2 gives you a mechanism so that you're not stuck using broken stats.)
Roderick's answer is excellent. Use stats as guidance to making the NPC a hard or easy challenge, within the context of your story. And to help narrate the ways that a contest would play out.
Don't try to use the numbers as is, because they almost certainly don't scale to your game (this was a problem in all our HQ1 campaigns).
(wishing I could find my copy so I could give a more concrete example...)

I disagree. Magic is something used to accomplish (or block) goals within the context of a story. Give it a rating and describe stuff happening. What Otherworld it comes from or whether it's attached to this rune or that rune is almost never of interest to the characters involved in magic use!
