Okay, one way or another, I'm not going to convince anybody of the difference between soul energies and mana, and it's a fruitless argument. His Reaver Spells aren't what is going to defeat Magus anyway. The Reaver itself will.
The faulty assumption that you all seem to be under is that the Wraith Blade is a magical weapon, and it's not. It's an energy blade that has the ability to
channel certain types of, magic through it. The Reaver requires no mana or soul energy to sustain itself, it just exists. Like a lightsaber with a mind of it's own. Therefore, Magus' barrier has no effect on it.
Secondly, it has been proven that the Masamune is not inherently a
good-natured blade. In Chono Cross, it is revealed only that the blade's nature reflects it's master, hence the reason why it was an evil blade in Chrono Cross. The Reaver acts in the same fashion. Raziel wields the Reaver with the intention of restoring balance to Nosgoth. Those are heroic intentions, therefore the blade reflects his good nature. Therefore, Magus is susceptible to damage from it, regardless of which elemental Reaver Raziel uses. Why would it not matter which elemental Reaver he uses? Because the elemental energies held within each Reaver are not magical. They are the pure natural essence of the element represented. Magus' barrier doesn't protect him if he gets caught in a landslide because it's not magical rock, it's just natural rock falling on him. The same attributes are given to the Reaver.

From what i read TK ability of Raziel are far from great (unlike Kain) and his main strenght are his elemental reavers (Which are working mostly as healer because of Magus Barrier)

Raziel's TK abilities are exactly equal to Kain's about two thirds of the way through Defiance. There's a point in the game where you have to play as Kain fighting against Raziel and then play as Raziel fighting agsinst Kain right afterwards. During the fight, both Kain and Raziel are capable of using the exact same types of telekinetic attacks against one another.
Raziel has a particlualrly nasty TK attack called "Stasis Field" which locks the enemy in place for about ten seconds, which would be more than enough time for Raziel's Wraith Blade to cut right through Magus' scrawny hide.
Either way, there's not much to say about this fight. Trying to argue that the Reaver Spells would cut through Magus' barrier is pointless becuase they're not his most powerful attacks. The Reaver and his TK abilities are his greatest asset, and neither of those abilities are magical in nature, therefore, Magus has no defense against them.
