TK isn't a "status effect." Both Raziel and Kain immune to all status ailments as well, and they are both susceptible to TK. Therefore, so is Magus.
Either way, the barrier wouldn't defend against Raziel's spells because they're not mana-based, they're soul-based. There's a difference. It's a completely different type of magic that Raziel is using. Magus' barrier wouldn't be able to defend against Raziel's Reaver or spells because his barrier reacts to mana energies, not soul energies. It's like having flood insurance on your car and then it gets blown up in a fire.

They are shown to take the whole battle field. Which is something very big. Also, his only spell that is point blank area effect is Lightning 2. Once he join your party he will move in middle to cast it. For other spell he wont! He aim them at the middle which mean he has a control of where the spell will hit on the battle field. No matter where he is he will be able to cast on his target.

Wrong. Magus needs to be engaged in melee distance combat in order to strike with Ice 2, Fire 2, Bolt 2, Dark Bomb, Dark Mist, Black Hole or Dakmatter. That's why he has to actually engage in up-close combat in order to cast spells. His spells may be ranged, but he has shown no ability to cast at great distance, only a maximum of 15 feet or so.
His barrier disintegrates entirely halfway through the battle, dude. It doesn't just deactivate for Darkmatter and then reactivate after he's done. Once his barrier disappears, it's gone for the rest of the fight. Plus, if he's sustaining a magical barrier the entire time, that requires concentration and focus. If he's severely wounded, he'll lose the ability to contiinue holding the barrier up.
So, to summarize, Magus' barrier is
completely useless because it's a mana-based defense mechanism, and Raziel's spells are soul-based. TK works on Magus because both he and Raziel share the same immunities and none of those immunities include TK. Magus needs to be within a certain range of his opponent to attack, because he's never demonstrated an ability to cast at great distances. Magus' barrier dissipates due to severe injury because sustaining a magical barrier takes concentration and focus.
Oh, and in Defiance, the Reaver consuming Raziel is no longer a problem. Raziel figures out a way to feed the Reaver souls and keep it from draining himself. He uses the souls that he feeds to the Reaver to cast his Reaver Spells. No dice.
