I think Brandish's magic limit on who it can/can't affect is still a mystery depending on she was still able to affect August(altering the size of his wounds) though it could be interpreted as lowering his guard or something. Her power not being able to do anything to Neinhart was basically an enhancement from Irene which could be interpreted as him being unaffected by any caster magic but he was by far physically weak especially if Natsu had to one punch him.
