Well, apart from the immunity to attacks from weak demons and things of that nature, some of the resistance could hear or see magic.
Where does that ability come from?

Same as resilience, I would have thought.

Yeah, but with a immunity to a disease you just dont get affected from it, you cant see the virus's, or hear them (not counting the symptoms of the virus).
It's almost as some force in the universe wants them to fight magic.
But it might just be some sort of magical evolution, well, that sort of makes sense in a world inhabbited by demons.

As for evolution, no. The resielience becomes lost, in time. New magicians come.

And some force in the universe wants to fight magic? Where did you get that?

And, last, your right. It is like vaccination. The magic seeps into the body and the body learns to fight it.

Comparing immunity to a virus and magical resilience is like comparing chalk and cheese. They're completely different. As Post said, the magic builds up in the bodies of the people, and is presumably passed down through generations, granting abilities like resilience and sensing magic. Once the ambient magic goes away, because the magicians have been overthrown, then there's no ambient magic any more and it disperses over time.
