I just want to point out that Homura does use magical attacks to kill QB in episode 10. Her attack is a sort of purple beam.
I also remember that in episode 11 she uses the same purple energy to manipulate a truck and other machinery while fighting WN.
More than being magically weak, I think Homura's problem is that she lacks a weapon to use her magic offensively. Or maybe she really is supposed to be weak and the anime is just a bit inconsistent about her power.
