See, that's bloody clever, hmelton. I was only trying to figure out a rational scientifically-justifiable reason for the anti-electronics magical effect, especially since in the HP work I'm considering I'm pushing that magic is the missing piece to a Grand Unified Theory.

I've played with a fanfic idea that at it's core assumes magic alters the quantum threshold over an area and draws it's energy from the process of somehow observing and changing the characteristics of electromagnetic waves from it's balanced wavelike characteristic to a strongly particle characteristic.
The Blue glow often associated with magic is actually akin to cherinkove radiation and gives a hint at the strongly particle and probabilistic nature of reality around magic.
The specialized portions of a mage's brain have the effect of changing the quantum threshold and the EM wave nature associated with magnetic fields starts to break down into a purely particle based system where magnetic fields manefest as exotic particles instead of field effects.
Magic works for "mages" because thier brain has a specialized area able to draw energy or manipulate energy by "observeing" these exotic particles from ambient EM waves and collasping them into a change in reality.
Hence the ability to "call" something into existance.
Strong magnetic fields have a tendency to raise the quantum threshold having a tendency to keep intact thier EM wave nature and at close range interfer with the portion of the "mages" brain that "observes" and manipulates the wave nature of EM waves.
In my fanfic universe idea Cold Iron isn't what most researchers assume instead it's any magnetic material with a very strong magnetic field that keeps the magician from collapsing the ?balanced? wave nature of reality into a partilistic system which they can control.
Instead of a faraday cage you need a "Ferromagnetic cage" to encloses your equipment.
