Servants like Hans and Shakespeare are said to defeated by normal magi because they can't actually perform magecraft because they where writers in live not magi, they aren't even combatants all they could do is use their noble phantasm and or skills. And without a magic resistance skill (or something simular) a normal magus can damage servants. (See Rin when she did a suprise attack on Caster Medea in UBW by just reinforcing her blows with magic)

Kirei in HF said: while he could damage assassin (with his black keys) he had no means of actually killing a servant (only something on the level of a scripture could do that). (do note that Kirei never uses his own magic circuits he uses the circuits of his stored command spells instead which he all used up by this point to heal/help Sakura and the one he had left was not enough)
