Notice how Fireball does Cr (inc) damage? That's because it's a rock that is somehow on fire. So, yeah, you can parry that just fine.

As for advantages for fighting mages, you can buy DR with Accessibility: Vs Magic Only, Magic Resistance helps your resistance against non-missile spells, anybody with Static: Magic is unaffected by all spells except missile spells, and, characters without Magery can still buy and use most enchanted gear.
