.....Or it's because Rufus wasn't as powerful as a Dragon because they have thrice more power and durability than the average human, regardless of their power. Humans in the modern era have never faced a Dragon because tehy were pretty much non-existent. This makes it hard to actually gauge their levels, only relying on what they've read in texts. When they come up against the real thing, they see that all of their magic - regardless of type was ineffective. It's not a matter of magic typing, but how powerful the user truly is.

Look at it this way; I hate using this example because it pissed me off, but Natsu's defeat of that so-called "God" Ikusa-Tsunagi was because he had Igneel's power backing him. Lord knows how powerful he was, given that he razed an entire battlefield in an instant. Natsu had a small fragment of that power, which was enough to completely defeat the deity in one attack, sadly enough. So yeah, it just depends on the strength of the user, not the magic itself.
