I also fear that you are right, but the terms "provide spell defense " made me a little bit hopeful that their form of the skill, only works for others, not for them.
That would take a really creative interpretation of the English language.
The Guard Power Provides spell defense for the spirit, and any allies, as if he was a magician.
I think you're seriously trying to twist the English language. If you want spirits to not have counter-spelling, (even though they're already meat for the Magicians) then just house rule it and get it over with.
But the raw is pretty darn clear.
