:D Karma is real you guys and it feels wonderful.
As for teleportation: I'd say that, similarly, teleportation becomes increasingly difficult the farther you go out. Whatever power you rely on for teleportation (be it a piece of technology or some sort of magic) would become increasingly strained and uncooperative the farther you try to go. To use the TARDIS as an example, the Doctor would probably barely be able to get it to land if he tried going close to the Edge. And the farther out he tried to land, the more difficult such a landing would be until it would be deemed essentially impossible. And if it's something that's normally effortless (be it magic or technology-based) then, well, it wouldn't be effortless in this case.
As for projectiles: They'd either be sent back at you or just wouldn't travel as far as they normally would, depending on how close you are to the Edge and how hard you threw said projectile in the first place. For example, if you were close enough that you could feel the force coming from the Edge but not too badly, and tried throwing a rock at it, then the rock probably wouldn't be sent backwards -- it just wouldn't travel the same distance it normally would, and its horizontal movement would sort of slow to a stop as the Edge's force continued to act on it. If you were so far out that it's already impossible for you to move an inch forward, and then tried throwing a rock at it -- well, first of all, you probably wouldn't be able to throw it at all as much as you'd sort of just release your grip on it -- at which point, it would be sent flying behind you. Wow, that AP physics class I took in high school is really starting to pay off.
When I said it was "immune to magic", I was moreso referring to teleportation abilities. But, if we're talking about magical projectiles (the sorts of things that ordinarily wouldn't be subject to physics), then... I guess it still depends on how far out you are. Going back to the rock example, an energy-based attack (like a fireball) would probably fizzle out and fall apart no matter where you threw it from, but whether it just sort of stops or is sent backwards for a short distance would depend on how far out you are.
Hopefully that makes sense.
ALSO, I just realized that I somehow forgot to include the alternative name for Jake's Island. Not sure how that happened. Oh well -- fixed it!
Edit: Also, was my description about the flying thing useful to you at all? My attempts at creating a visual representation didn't work out as well as I'd hoped, so I want to know if the verbal description made enough sense for you.

Yes, you bring up a good point, and I was thinking a lot about this last night, actually.
