    Curmudgeon is good at turning up places where the RAW is 110% silly, and this one just caught my eye:

    You would be able to reach some of the creature's squares inside the Antimagic Field, while being outside the AMF yourself. With a melee attack the position of the attacker is where the attack is adjudicated, so you would receive the magical benefits of your weapon. It would be another story with missile attacks, because those are adjudicated in the defender's position.
    So if you stand 5 feet away from a guy on the edge of an AMF and stab him with a teensy weensy +5 Whateverbane Dagger of Slaying, your magic works, but if you're five miles away sniping with a +5 Distance Seeking Bow of Unlimited Range, your enhancement bonus doesn't work, and it's dubious whether you can hit at all because the magic enabling you to make the shot suddenly stops working an inch before the arrow hits.

    Conversely, you can also stab someone with a magic longspear from 10 feet away without the AMF interfering, but standing 5 feet away for a Point Blank Shot means the AMF applies.
