As far as I know, you
can buy Immunity to a Power Source. This, however, does not make you protected from magic. It just means you automatically resist any resistable effects. . . which in the case of the spells-as-skills system means you can still be buffed, you can still be fireballed, you can still be hit with AOE attacks like Create Fire and the various Rain of whatever spells, and
anything based on the powers system that doesn't have a resistance roll is still entirely fair game.
Note that Magic Resistance
is different from Resistant: Magic. Magic Resistance gives casters skill penalties
and gives bonuses to Resist magic - this means it can foil irresistable direct effects, it can trash AOE castings, and it also protects you from potions... but it still doesn't save you from Missile spells and other not-directly-applied damage.
