Exactly, and it's interesting how Fate's jacket frays at the edges as it takes that magical damage. Especially if we contrast it to Nanoha getting nailed by Vita head-on in A's ep 1; the jacket takes limited damage, but near-total for the area effected, and Nanoha obviously took a good amount of damage as well. (Enough that her vision was going in and out, so that's a head injury, though whether that was an effect of the hit or of going through the wall afterwards is unclear.)
For similar reasons, I'm not sure we can count the IV shanking Nanoha. We know that the gadgets pack anti-magic field technology; maybe they go through barrier jackets more effectively than normal. (At the same time, we see Signum's barrier jacket/armor/whatever breached at least twice by sharp weapon attacks from Fate. Maybe jackets aren't good against "slicing"?)
