Leaving aside whether August keeps the copied magic, he should still be able to easily defend against cards.

Remember when Mest made Brandish stab August? There he just cast a giant explosive pillar or something without anyone there to copy it from. That spell would surely have enough force to blast away a few cards made out of paper or cardboard... along with the caster, wouldn't it?
